DashboardItemElementCustomColorEventArgs.TargetElement Property

Gets the axis point tuple corresponding to the current dashboard item element.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardWin

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v19.1.Win.dll

Declaration

C#

public AxisPointTuple TargetElement { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property TargetElement As AxisPointTuple

Property Value

Type	Description
AxisPointTuple	An AxisPointTuple object that is the axis point tuple.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to color dashboard item elements using the DashboardViewer.DashboardItemElementCustomColor event.

In this example, chart series points, whose values exceed specified thresholds, are colored in green. Chart series points, whose values fall below specified thresholds, are colored in red.

Pie segments, whose contributions in total fall below the specified threshold, are colored in orange.
