EventArgsToCellInfoConverter Class
A converter used to convert the event argument to the CellInfo class.
Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid
Assembly:
DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.v24.2.dll
NuGet Package:
DevExpress.Wpf.PivotGrid
Declaration
public class EventArgsToCellInfoConverter :
EventArgsConverterBase<EventArgs>
Public Class EventArgsToCellInfoConverter
Inherits EventArgsConverterBase(Of EventArgs)
A project that uses the DevExpress MVVM Framework and implements the EventToCommand behavior may need a converter to translate event data to command parameters. Assign the EventArgsToCellInfoConverter object to the EventToCommand.EventArgsConverter property if your command accepts the CellInfo parameter type.
Example
This example demonstrates how to obtain the records from the control’s underlying data source for a particular cell. Double-click a cell to invoke a form that contains a grid with the underlying data.
This example is based on the DevExpress MVVM Framework. When a user double-clicks a cell, the EventToCommand class invokes the bound ShowDrillDownDataCommand defined in the ViewModel.
To pass the event data as a parameter to the command, the EventToCommand.PassEventArgsToCommand property is set to true. The EventArgsToCellInfoConverter instance is assigned to the EventToCommand.EventArgsConverter property to convert the event data to the CellInfo parameter type required for the command.
The command calls the DialogService.ShowDialog method to invoke a custom window that displays the underlying data. The DialogService is a part of the DevExpress MVVM Framework. It is defined in XAML and specifies the DXDialogWindow that contains the GridControl bound to the CellInfo.DrillDownDataSource property.
