DashboardViewer.DashboardItemSelectionChanged Event

Occurs after the selection within the dashboard item is changed.

Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardWin

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Dashboard

Declaration

C#

public event DashboardItemSelectionChangedEventHandler DashboardItemSelectionChanged

VB.NET

Public Event DashboardItemSelectionChanged As DashboardItemSelectionChangedEventHandler

Event Data

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

Property	Description
CurrentSelection	Gets currently selected elements.
DashboardItemName	Gets the component name of the dashboard item for which the event was raised.

Remarks

The DashboardItemSelectionChanged event is raised after the selection within the dashboard item is changed. The selection can be changed in the following ways:

• the state of master filter item is changed by an end-user or using DashboardViewer‘s API (the DashboardViewer.SetMasterFilter or DashboardViewer.ClearMasterFilter methods);
• changing the selection within the dashboard item for which a custom visual interactivity is provided (using the DashboardViewer.DashboardItemVisualInteractivity event).

The DashboardItemSelectionChangedEventArgs.DashboardItemName property returns the name of the dashboard item for which the event was raised. Use the DashboardItemSelectionChangedEventArgs.CurrentSelection property to obtain the currently selected elements.

Handle the DashboardItemSelectionChanged event to detect the currently selected dashboard item.

Example

This example shows how to add a custom interactivity to a dashboard loaded in the WinForms Dashboard Viewer:

• A user can select records in the Grid dashboard item to filter data in the external Pivot Grid control.
• When a user clicks the chart series, the Data Grid control displays the corresponding underlying data.

To accomplish this, handle the following events:

• DashboardViewer.DashboardItemVisualInteractivity event allows you to implement a custom Master Filtering.

• DashboardViewer.DashboardItemSelectionChanged event allows you to filter data in the external PivotGridControl with the records selected in the Grid dashboard item.

• The DashboardViewer.DashboardItemSelectionChanged event allows you to obtain underlying data when the user clicks the chart series.

This example operates with the MultiDimensionalData API. For more information on the MultiDimensionalData concept, refer to the Obtaining Underlying and Displayed Data document.
