FormatConditionTopBottom Class

A format condition used to apply formatting to top/bottom values.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardCommon

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Dashboard.Core

Declaration

C#

public class FormatConditionTopBottom :
    FormatConditionStyleBase

VB.NET

Public Class FormatConditionTopBottom
    Inherits FormatConditionStyleBase

Remarks

To create a format condition to apply formatting to top or bottom values, do the following.

• Specify whether the formatting is applied to top or bottom values using the FormatConditionTopBottom.TopBottom property.
• Specify whether an absolute or percent boundary value is used to apply formatting using the FormatConditionTopBottom.RankType property.
• Specify the required rank value using the FormatConditionTopBottom.Rank property.
• Specify the required style settings applied to target elements using the FormatConditionStyleBase.StyleSettings property. You can change the color of dashboard item elements, font settings (AppearanceSettings) or add predefined icons (IconSettings).

Assign the resulting FormatConditionTopBottom object to the DashboardItemFormatRule.Condition property.

Example

The Top-Bottom (FormatConditionTopBottom) format conditions allow you to highlight a specific number of topmost/bottommost values. This example shows how to apply conditional formatting to the specified number of top/bottom values. The number of values can be specified as an absolute value or a percentage of all values.

The Average format condition (FormatConditionAverage) is used to highlight values above or below an average value.
