ConditionalFormattingCollection.CreateValue(ConditionalFormattingValueType, String) Method

Specifies the minimum or maximum threshold value for the conditional formatting rule.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

Assembly: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

C#

ConditionalFormattingValue CreateValue(
    ConditionalFormattingValueType valueType,
    string value
)

VB.NET

Function CreateValue(
    valueType As ConditionalFormattingValueType,
    value As String
) As ConditionalFormattingValue

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
valueType	ConditionalFormattingValueType	One of the ConditionalFormattingValueType enumeration values.
value	String	A string that is the threshold value.

Returns

Type	Description
ConditionalFormattingValue	The ConditionalFormattingValue object that defines the threshold value and its ConditionalFormattingValueType type.

Remarks

If you use a formula to determine the threshold value (the valueType is set to ConditionalFormattingValueType.Formula), start it with an equals sign (=). The formula can include built-in spreadsheet functions. Note that use of relative references is not allowed.
