Event Data

The CustomizeDashboardTitle event's data class is CustomizeDashboardTitleEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property Description
FilterText Gets or sets the text displayed in the dashboard title or in the dashboard item caption. The text identifies a single master filter value applied to the dashboard. Inherited from CustomizeDashboardCaptionBaseEventArgs.
Items Provides access to command buttons located in the dashboard title or in the dashboard item’s caption. Inherited from CustomizeDashboardCaptionBaseEventArgs.
Text Gets or sets the text displayed in the dashboard title or the dashboard item caption. Inherited from CustomizeDashboardCaptionBaseEventArgs.

Remarks

The DashboardDesigner.CustomizeDashboardTitle event is raised when the dashboard is loaded (the DashboardDesigner.Dashboard property is changed) or when end-user activities affect the dashboard title. Such activities include applying a master filter, performing drill-down or changing the parameter value.

You can change displayed text, remove existing buttons, add custom buttons or command bar items, including drop-down menus.

Example

The following code snippets demonstrate how to load data in the Dashboard designer on demand when all required filters are set. For this, the Show Data button is created in the DashboardDesigner.CustomizeDashboardTitle event handler.

using DevExpress.DashboardWin;
using System;
using System.Linq;

namespace CustomShowDataExample
{
    public partial class DesignerForm1 : DevExpress.XtraBars.Ribbon.RibbonForm
    {
        public DesignerForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            dashboardDesigner.CustomizeDashboardTitle += DashboardDesigner_CustomizeDashboardTitle;
            dashboardDesigner.LoadDashboard(@"..\..\Dashboards\dashboard1.xml");
        }

        #region #CustomizeDashboardTitle
        private void DashboardDesigner_CustomizeDashboardTitle(object sender, CustomizeDashboardTitleEventArgs e)
        {
            DevExpress.Data.IParameter showDataParameter = dashboardDesigner.Parameters.FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == "ShowData");
            if (showDataParameter != null)
            {
                bool showData = (bool)showDataParameter.Value;
                DashboardToolbarItem showDataItem = new DashboardToolbarItem(showData, "Select states in the State list box and click this button to display data",
                    new Action<DashboardToolbarItemClickEventArgs>((args) => {
                        showDataParameter.Value = !showData;
                    }));
                showDataItem.Caption = "Show Data";
                showDataItem.SvgImage = svgImageCollection1[0];
                e.Items.Insert(0, showDataItem);
            }
        }
        #endregion #CustomizeDashboardTitle
