Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

public interface IChildrenSelector

The following members return IChildrenSelector objects:

Remarks

The HierarchicalDataAdapter.ChildrenSelector property stores an object of a class that implements this interface. The adapter uses the property to get object collections for 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:

 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; }
}
