CreateServerModeDrillDownDataSource(Int32, List<String>) Obsolete. In server mode, returns a list of records used to calculate a summary value for the current cell. Allows you to specify the columns and limit the number of records to be returned. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
CreateSummaryDataSource() Returns a summary data source. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetCellValue(PivotGridField) Returns a cell value calculated for the current column and row field values, against the specified data field. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetCellValue(Int32, Int32) Returns a cell value by the column and row indexes. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetCellValue(Object[], Object[], PivotGridField) Returns a cell value calculated for the specified column and row field values, against the specified data field. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetColumnFields() Returns an array of column fields which correspond to the processed cell. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetColumnGrandTotal(PivotGridField) Returns a Column Grand Total value calculated for the current row field values, against the specified data field. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetColumnGrandTotal(Object[], PivotGridField) Returns a Column Grand Total value calculated for the specified row field values, against the specified data field. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetFieldValue(PivotGridField, Int32) Returns the specified column or row field’s value for the cell, addressed by its zero-based index in the Data Area. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetFieldValue(PivotGridField) Returns the value of the specified column or row field which identifies the column/row in which the processed cell resides. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetGrandTotal(PivotGridField) Gets the Grand Total for the specified field. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetNextColumnCellValue(PivotGridField) Returns the value of the cell in the same row but in the next column. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
GetNextRowCellValue(PivotGridField) Returns the value of the cell in the next row. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.

Remarks

The CustomCellAppearance event is fired for each cell after the PivotGridControl layout changes.

This event allows you to specify brushes used to paint the background and foreground of the processed cell. To do this, use the event parameter’s PivotCustomCellAppearanceEventArgs.Background and PivotCustomCellAppearanceEventArgs.Foreground properties, respectively.

Use the PivotCustomCellAppearanceEventArgs.IsExporting property to obtain whether the pivot grid is being exported (or printed). If the PivotCustomCellAppearanceEventArgs.IsExporting property returns true, brushes assigned to the PivotCustomCellAppearanceEventArgs.Background and PivotCustomCellAppearanceEventArgs.Foreground properties will affect the processed cell’s export (or print) appearance. Otherwise, these brushes will affect the cell’s display appearance.

The event parameter also provides properties used to identify the processed cell. Use the event parameter’s PivotCellBaseEventArgs.ColumnField, PivotCellBaseEventArgs.DataField and PivotCellBaseEventArgs.RowField properties to obtain the column, data and row fields that correspond to the processed cell, respectively. The PivotCellBaseEventArgs.ColumnIndex and PivotCellBaseEventArgs.RowIndex properties are used to obtain the visual indexes of the column and row that contain the cell. To obtain the type of the column and row where the cell resides, use the PivotCellBaseEventArgs.ColumnValueType and PivotCellBaseEventArgs.RowValueType properties, respectively.

To specify brushes used to paint field value cells, handle the PivotGridControl.CustomValueAppearance event.
