DashboardDesigner.RestoreDashboardItemAsync() Method

Restores the item size if an item is expanded to the entire dashboard size (maximized) in an asynchronous task.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardWin

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Dashboard

Declaration

C#

public Task RestoreDashboardItemAsync()

VB.NET

Public Function RestoreDashboardItemAsync As Task

Returns

Type	Description
Task	The task object that is the asynchronous operation to complete.

Remarks

To maximize an item, call the DashboardViewer.MaximizeDashboardItemAsync method.

Example

This code snippet demonstrates how to call the asynchronous maximize and restore methods to create a slide show with the dashboard items.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraEditors;
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace MaximizeSlideShow
{
    public partial class ViewerForm1 : XtraForm {
        bool isSlideShown = false;
        int index = 0;
        Timer slideShowTimer = new Timer() {
            Interval = 5000
        };

        public ViewerForm1() {
            InitializeComponent();
            slideShowTimer.Tick += OnSlideShowTimerTick;
        }

        async void OnSlideShowTimerTick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            var items = dashboardViewer1.Dashboard.Items;
            int maxIndex = items.Count - 1;

            if(!isSlideShown) {
                slideShowTimer.Stop();
                return;
            }
            await dashboardViewer1.MaximizeDashboardItemAsync(items[index].ComponentName);
            if(index == maxIndex)
                index = 0;
            else
                index++;
        }

        void OnStartClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
            if(!isSlideShown) {
                isSlideShown = true;
                slideShowTimer.Start();
            }
        }
        async void OnStopClick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            isSlideShown = false;
            await dashboardViewer1.RestoreDashboardItemAsync();
        }
    }
}
