DashboardViewer.DashboardItemClick Event
Occurs when an end user clicks a dashboard item.
Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardWin
Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v24.2.Win.dll
Declaration
Event Data
The DashboardItemClick event's data class is DashboardItemMouseActionEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| DashboardItemName | Gets the name of the dashboard item for which the event has been raised. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseEventArgs. |
| Data | Gets the dashboard item’s client data. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
The event data class exposes the following methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| GetAxisPoint() | Returns the axis point corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetAxisPoint(String) | Returns the axis point corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetDeltas() | Gets a list of deltas corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetMeasures() | Gets a list of measures corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetSlice() | Returns the slice of client data by the axis point corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetSlice(String) | Returns the slice of client data by the axis point corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetUnderlyingData() | Returns underlying data corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetUnderlyingData(IList<String>) | Returns underlying data corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetUnderlyingData(String, IList<String>) | Returns underlying data corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
| GetUnderlyingData(String) | Returns underlying data corresponding to the visual element located under the test point. Inherited from DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs. |
Remarks
Use the DashboardItemMouseEventArgs.DashboardItemName property to obtain the dashboard item name for which the event has been raised. The DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs.Data property returns the client data for this dashboard item.
The DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs.GetAxisPoint method returns the axis point related to the clicked dashboard item element. To obtain the underlying data for this element, use the DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs.GetUnderlyingData method.
Note
The DashboardItemClick event has the following limitations:
- The DashboardItemClick event is not raised for filter elements.
- The DashboardItemClick event is not raised for custom dashboard items.
- The DashboardItemClick event parameters do not return data related to a clicked visual element (for instance, DashboardItemMouseHitTestEventArgs.GetAxisPoint) for the following dashboard items: Range Filter, Images, Text Box.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to obtain client data corresponding to a particular visual element using DashboardViewer‘s API.
In this example, the DashboardViewer.DashboardItemClick event is handled to obtain client data for the Card dashboard item and display this data in a Chart control.
When a user clicks a card, the app obtains axis points placed on the “Sparkline” axis, determines corresponding actual/target values, and saves these values to a data table. This table is used as a data source for the Chart control.
The Pie dashboard item demonstrates the master filtering feature. Click the slice and the Cards will display client data by the selected year.
