CustomizeDashboardTitleEventArgs Class
Provides data for the CustomizeDashboardTitle and CustomizeDashboardTitle events.
Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardWin
Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v21.2.Win.dll
Declaration
Remarks
The CustomizeDashboardTitleEventArgs class allows you to add, remove or modify command buttons, or change the text displayed in the Dashboard Title.
Example
This example demonstrates how to handle the IDashboardControl.CustomizeDashboardItemCaption and IDashboardControl.CustomizeDashboardTitle events to modify dashboard title and dashboard item captions.
The dashboard title displays the dimensions and values by which the dashboard data is filtered. You can use a drop-down menu to selectively hide dashboard item captions. Clicking a custom Support button navigates to this example online.
A dashboard item caption displays the item’s master filter values.
Export buttons are hidden for all dashboard items except the map, and for the entire dashboard, if the displayed data’s Category field contains “Bikes”.
