cxExportPivotGridToText(string,TcxCustomPivotGrid,Boolean,string,TObject,TEncoding) Method

Exports content of a pivot grid to a file in plain text format.

Declaration

procedure cxExportPivotGridToText(const AFileName: string; APivotGrid: TcxCustomPivotGrid; AExpand: Boolean; const AFileExt: string = 'txt'; AHandler: TObject = nil; AEncoding: TEncoding = nil);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
AFileName	string	The full path to the resulting plain text file. You can omit the file name extension because it is automatically updated from the AFileExt parameter value.
APivotGrid	TcxCustomPivotGrid	The source pivot grid control.
AExpand	Boolean	If True, the procedure expands all rows, including the collapsed nested rows. If False, the procedure exports only visible rows.
AFileExt	string	Optional. Specifies the file name extension for the resulting HTML file. This parameter value always replaces the file name extension passed as a part of the AFileName parameter value.
AHandler	TObject	Optional. Specifies a handler object that should implement the IcxExportBeforeSave and/or IcxExportProgress interfaces to allow you to perform specific actions before an export operation and track its progress. Refer to the following topic for detailed information on how to create and use handler objects: How to: Track Data Export Progress.
AEncoding	TEncoding	Optional. Specifies the character encoding format of the resulting CSV file. If nil (in Delphi) or nullptr (in C++Builder) is passed as the AEncoding parameter, the procedure uses the TEncoding.Default encoding.

Remarks

Call the cxExportPivotGridToText procedure to export the pivot grid control’s content to a file in plain text format. This format stores data without formatting, style, or print layout information. Compared to CSV, exported TXT files are more human-readable.

Example

The following code example exports pivot grid data without collapsed nested rows:

Delphi

  cxExportPivotGridToText('Payments.txt', UnboundPivotGrid, False, 'txt', nil, nil);

C++

  cxExportPivotGridToText("Payments.txt", UnboundPivotGrid, false, "txt", nullptr, nullptr);
