IBreadcrumbTextProvider Interface

An interface of a text provider for the HierarchicalDataAdapter.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v26.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public interface IBreadcrumbTextProvider

VB.NET

Public Interface IBreadcrumbTextProvider

Related API Members

The following members return IBreadcrumbTextProvider objects:

• HierarchicalDataAdapterBase.BreadcrumbTextProvider

Remarks

The HierarchicalDataAdapterBase.BreadcrumbTextProvider property stores an object of a class that implements this interface. The adapter uses the property to provide text for breadcrumb items that represent various drill down detail levels.

Example

This example demonstrates how to enable the Chart’s Drill Mode that allows end users to navigate between different detail levels:

Data.cs

 public interface INameable {
    string Name { get; }
}

public sealed class DevAVBranch: INameable {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<DevAVProductCategory> Categories { get; set; }
    public double TotalIncome { get => Categories.Sum(c => c.TotalIncome); }
}


public sealed class DevAVProductCategory: INameable {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<DevAVProduct> Products { get; set; }
    public double TotalIncome { get => Products.Sum(p => p.TotalIncome); }
}


public sealed class DevAVProduct: INameable {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public List<DevAVMonthlyIncome> Sales { get; set; }
    public double TotalIncome { get => Sales.Sum(s => s.Income); }
}


public class DevAVMonthlyIncome {
    public DateTime Month { get; set; }
    public double Income { get; set; }
}
