PivotCustomFieldValueCellsEventArgs.FindCell(Boolean, Predicate<Object[]>) Method

Returns header of the column/row whose summary values match the specified condition.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.PivotGrid

Declaration

public FieldValueCell FindCell(
    bool isColumn,
    Predicate<object[]> match
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
isColumn Boolean

true to locate a column; false to locate a row.

match Predicate<Object[]>

A System.Predicate that specifies the condition used to locate the column/row.

Returns

Type Description
FieldValueCell

A FieldValueCell object representing the header of the column/row whose summary values match the specified predicate; null if no columns/rows match the predicate.

Remarks

Field value cells can also be obtained by their indexes using the PivotCustomFieldValueCellsEventArgs.GetCell method.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to handle the CustomFieldValueCells event to locate a specific column/row header identified by its column’s/row’s summary values.

In this example, a predicate is used to locate a column that contains only zero summary values. The column header is obtained by the event parameter’s FindCell method, and then removed via the Remove method.
