#Declaration

Delphi
procedure ExportGridDataToCSVStream(AStream: TStream; AGrid: TcxGrid; AExpand: Boolean = True; ASaveAll: Boolean = True; const ASeparator: Char = ','; AHandler: TObject = nil; AEncoding: TEncoding = nil);

#Parameters

Name Type Description
AStream TStream

The target stream.

AGrid TcxGrid

The source data grid control.

AExpand Boolean

Optional. If True, the procedure exports all rows, including the rows hidden within collapsed group rows and master rows. If False, the procedure exports only visible rows.

ASaveAll Boolean

Optional. Specifies if the procedure exports all available rows:

  • If True (default), the procedure exports all or only visible rows depending on the AExpand parameter value.
  • If False, the procedure exports only selected rows.

The ASaveAll parameter value is ignored in grid mode.

ASeparator Char

Optional. Specifies the character used to delimit exported values in the resulting CSV stream. The default separator character is a comma.

AHandler TObject

Optional. Specifies a handler object that should implement the IcxExportBeforeSave and/or IcxExportProgress interfaces to allow you to perform specific actions before the beginning of an export operation and track its progress.

If nil (in Delphi) or nullptr (in C++Builder) is passed as the AEncoding parameter (default), the procedure uses the TEncoding.Default encoding.
