dxDefaultExcelFilterValueContainerApplyChanges Constant

Specifies how an Excel-inspired dropdown window updates filter criteria in all DevExpress data presentation controls by default.

Declaration

const dxDefaultExcelFilterValueContainerApplyChanges: TdxExcelFilterValueContainerApplyChangesMode = efacImmediately;

Returns

Type
TdxExcelFilterValueContainerApplyChangesMode

Remarks

This global constant defines whether an Excel-inspired filter dropdown updates the filter criteria on every change or on demand by default. In the latter case, the dropdown window shows the additional OK button that confirms changes and closes the window. Alternatively, a user can switch between the Values and Filters pages of the filter dropdown to apply all pending changes. Note that the Filters page is available only if the filter dropdown is invoked for numeric, date-time, or string values.

The dxDefaultExcelFilterValueContainerApplyChanges global constant value defines an Excel-inspired dropdown window’s filter criteria update behavior if the target item and its control container both have their filter criteria update-related properties set to efacDefault. Refer to the TdxExcelFilterValueContainerApplyChangesMode type description for additional information.

You can change this global constant’s value from efacImmediately to efacOnTabOrButtonClick and recompile all sources via the DevExpress VCL Setup to avoid immediate filter criteria updates that occur by default in an Excel-inspired filter dropdown in all DevExpress data presentation controls.

Note

efacDefault is equivalent to efacImmediately as the dxDefaultExcelFilterValueContainerApplyChanges global constant’s values. The filter dropdown updates the filter criteria on every change in both cases.
