TcxPivotGridCustomOLAPDataSource Class

Serves as the base class for all classes that provide binding functionality between OLAP cube metadata and ExpressPivotGrid elements.

Declaration

TcxPivotGridCustomOLAPDataSource = class(
    TcxCustomComponent,
    IInterface,
    IdxTreeOwner
)

Remarks

This class allows you to:

Create pivot grid fields and field groups based on a linked cube’s metadata: measures, dimensions, named sets, KPIs, and hierarchy members (RetrieveFields).
Initialize the properties of pivot grid fields that are created (OnInitializeField).

The implemented functionality allows TcxPivotGridCustomOLAPDataSource descendants to connect to OLAP cubes using various connection types. The TcxPivotGridOLAPDataSource component (a TcxPivotGridCustomOLAPDataSource descendant) shipped with the ExpressPivotGrid Suite implements the connection using ADO connection objects.
