GridControl.CustomSummary Event

Allows you to calculate a custom summary.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v20.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Wpf.Grid.Core, DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

public event CustomSummaryEventHandler CustomSummary

Event Data

The CustomSummary event's data class is CustomSummaryEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property Description
FieldValue Gets the processed field value.
GroupLevel Gets the nested level of the group whose summary value is being calculated.
GroupRowHandle Gets a value identifying the group row whose child data rows are involved in summary calculation.
IsGroupSummary Gets whether a group summary value is being calculated.
IsTotalSummary Gets whether a total summary value is being calculated.
Item Gets a summary item whose value is being calculated.
Mode
Row Gets the currently processed row.
RowHandle Gets the handle of the processed row.
SummaryProcess Gets a value indicating calculation stage.
TotalValue Gets or sets the total summary value.
TotalValueReady Gets or sets whether the Calculation stage of the custom summary calculation process should be skipped.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method Description
GetGroupSummary(Int32, Object) Returns the value of the specified group summary for the specified group row.
GetValue(String) Returns the value in the specified field

Remarks

Total summaries and group summaries have predefined aggregate functions (COUNT, MAX, MIN, SUM, and AVG). To calculate custom summaries, handle the CustomSummary event. This event allows you to implement custom aggregate functions or use a custom algorithm to calculate summary values.

If the GridControl.View property is set to TreeListView, use the TreeListView.CustomSummary event.

Note

The CustomSummary event does not work in Server Mode.

Refer to the Custom Summary topic for more information.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to use custom summaries to count the total number of empty cells in the specified grid column.
