#Code Examples

#Create a Data Bar Rule

The following code example creates a data bar conditional formatting rule and applies it to a column in a TcxGrid control’s data-aware Table View:

var
  ARule: TdxSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRuleDataBar;
begin
  cxGrid1DBTableView1.ConditionalFormatting.Add(cxGrid1DBTableView1Column1.Caption,
              TdxSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRuleDataBar, ARule);
  ARule.BeginUpdate;  // Initiates the following batch change
  try  
    ARule.Style.NegativeBarColor := clRed;  
    ARule.Style.NegativeBarBorderColor := clRed;  

    ARule.Style.PositiveBarColor := clGreen;  
    ARule.Style.PositiveBarBorderColor := clGreen;  
    ARule.Style.FillMode := dbfmSolid;
  finally  
    ARule.EndUpdate;  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
  end;
end;

#Create an Icon Set Rule

The following code example creates an Icon Set conditional formatting rule with three threshold values and applies the rule to the first column in a TcxGrid control’s data-aware Table View:

var
  ARule: TdxSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRuleIconSet;
begin
  cxGrid1DBTableView1.ConditionalFormatting.Add(0, TdxSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRuleIconSet, ARule);
  ARule.BeginUpdate;  // Initiates the following batch change
  try
    ARule.PresetName := ConditionalFormattingIconSet.Presets.Items[1].Name;
    ARule.Stops[0].ValueType := cssvtValue;
    ARule.Stops[0].Value := 0;
    ARule.Stops[1].ValueType := cssvtValue;
    ARule.Stops[1].Value := 25;
    ARule.Stops[2].ValueType := cssvtValue;
    ARule.Stops[2].Value := 50;
  finally  
    ARule.EndUpdate;  // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
  end;
end;
