PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventHandler Delegate

Represents a method that will handle the PivotGridControl.CustomChartDataSourceData event.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public delegate void PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventHandler(
    object sender,
    PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs e
);

VB.NET

Public Delegate Sub PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventHandler(
    sender As Object,
    e As PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
sender	Object	The event source. This parameter identifies the PivotGridControl which raised the event.
e	PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs	A PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs object which contains event data.

Remarks

When creating a PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the corresponding event. To associate an event with your event handler, add a delegate instance to this event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Events and Delegates in MSDN.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to add custom text to data prepared by the PivotGridControl, to display it in a ChartControl.

For this, it is necessary to handle the PivotGridControl.CustomChartDataSourceData event. In this event handler, you can determine the item type via the PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.ItemType property and change the PivotCustomChartDataSourceDataEventArgs.Value according to your custom requirements.
