Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardWin

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Dashboard

Declaration

C#

public event CustomizeDashboardTitleEventHandler CustomizeDashboardTitle

VB.NET

Public Event CustomizeDashboardTitle As CustomizeDashboardTitleEventHandler

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.
