TcxPivotGridField.RepositoryItem Property

Specifies an edit repository item component for the pivot grid field.

Declaration

property RepositoryItem: TcxEditRepositoryItem read; write;

Property Value

Type	Description
TcxEditRepositoryItem	An edit repository item component.

Remarks

A pivot grid field can use any editor shipped with the ExpressEditors Library to display data in cells.

To assign an editor to the pivot grid field, you can create and configure an edit repository item component, and then assign it to the RepositoryItem property.

Tip

Edit repository items are useful when you need to share editor settings between multiple pivot grid fields or change active editor settings in an OnGetProperties event handler.

Code Example: Shared In-Place Editor Settings

The following code example creates a progress bar repository item to assign a progress bar editor to two pivot grid fields:

Delphi

// ...
uses
  cxProgressBar, cxExtEditRepositoryItems;
// ...
var
  ARepositoryItem: TcxEditRepositoryProgressBar;
begin
  // Creates a repository item that defines a progress bar and stores its settings
  ARepositoryItem := TcxEditRepositoryProgressBar(cxEditRepository1.CreateItem(TcxEditRepositoryProgressBar));
  ARepositoryItem.BarStyle := cxbsAnimation;
  ARepositoryItem.BeginColor := clLime;
  // Assigns the created repository item to two existing pivot grid fields
  cxDBPivotGridField1.RepositoryItem := ARepositoryItem;
  cxDBPivotGridField2.RepositoryItem := ARepositoryItem;
end;

C++

// ...
#pragma link "cxProgressBar"
#pragma link "cxExtEditRepositoryItems"
// ...
  TcxEditRepositoryProgressBar *ARepositoryItem;
  // Creates a repository item that defines a progress bar and stores its settings
  ARepositoryItem = dynamic_cast<TcxEditRepositoryProgressBar*>(cxEditRepository1->CreateItem(__classid(TcxEditRepositoryProgressBar)));
  ARepositoryItem->BarStyle = cxbsAnimation;
  ARepositoryItem->BeginColor = clLime;
  // Assigns the created repository item to two existing pivot grid fields
  cxDBPivotGridField1->RepositoryItem = ARepositoryItem;
  cxDBPivotGridField1->RepositoryItem = ARepositoryItem;

Default Editors

A pivot grid field uses the default editor to display data if Properties, PropertiesClass, and PropertiesClassName properties are unspecified. The pivot grid field uses one of the following editors as default depending on DataBinding.ValueType and DataBinding.ValueTypeClass property values:

ValueType[1]	ValueTypeClass[1]	Default Editor
Boolean	TcxBooleanValueType	TcxCheckBox
Currency	TcxCurrencyValueType	TcxCurrencyEdit
DateTime	TcxDateTimeValueType	TcxDateEdit
FMTBcd	TcxFMTBcdValueType	TcxCurrencyEdit
SQLTimeStamp	TcxSQLTimeStampValueType	TcxDateEdit
Any other value	Any other value	TcxTextEdit

Footnotes

1. DataBinding.ValueType and DataBinding.ValueTypeClass property values define the default in-place editor for the pivot grid field regardless of the active data access mode.
