TfrmSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRulesManagerDialog Class

The form class that implements the “Conditional Formatting Rules Manager” dialog in spreadsheet controls.

Declaration

TfrmSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRulesManagerDialog = class(
    TdxForm,
    IdxSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRulesManagerDialogHelperListener
)

Remarks

This dialog includes UI elements required to preview and manage conditional formatting rules in a target spreadsheet or container control. While spreadsheet controls use this form class to invoke the “Conditional Formatting Rules Manager”, container controls use the TfrmDataControllerConditionalFormattingRulesManagerDialog class, since a rule cannot refer to individual values and value ranges in an underlying data controller.

A global ShowConditionalFormattingRulesManagerDialog procedure invokes the “Conditional Formatting Rule” dialog only for spreadsheet controls. To invoke the corresponding dialog for a container control that supports conditional formatting, call the ShowRulesManagerDialog procedure accessible via:

An individual ExpressQuantumGrid Table or Banded Table View’s ConditionalFormatting property.
An ExpressQuantumTreeList control’s ConditionalFormatting property.
An ExpressVerticalGrid control’s ConditionalFormatting property.

If you need to adjust or customize the dialog’s UI elements, derive a custom dialog form from the TfrmSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRulesManagerDialog class. Assign a reference to the custom “Conditional Formatting Rules Manager” dialog form class to the dxSpreadSheetConditionalFormattingRulesManagerDialogClass global variable to replace the standard dialog.

Note

If you need to replace the standard “Conditional Formatting Rules Manager” dialog that container controls use, refer to the TfrmDataControllerConditionalFormattingRulesManagerDialog class description instead.
