InvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a way to invoke event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase efficiency over the base implementation. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
IsFieldValueExpanded(PivotGridField)	Indicates whether the specified field’s value that represents a row or column header of the processed cell is expanded. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
IsFieldValueRetrievable(PivotGridField)	Gets whether the value of the specified column or row field can be retrieved for the current cell by the PivotCellBaseEventArgs.GetFieldValue method. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
IsOthersFieldValue(PivotGridField)	Indicates whether the processed data cell resides within the “Others” row/column when the Top N Value feature is enabled. Inherited from PivotCellBaseEventArgs.
OnSetSource(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a notification callback entry point whenever the value of the Source property of an instance changes. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.

Remarks

Cells display summary values calculated against data fields. Fields provide properties allowing you to specify formatting settings applied to their cells: PivotGridField.CellFormat, PivotGridField.TotalCellFormat and PivotGridField.GrandTotalCellFormat.

Handle the CustomCellDisplayText event to manually customize the text displayed within cells. The event parameter provides properties allowing you to identify the processed cell. To specify a custom display text for a cell, use the PivotCellDisplayTextEventArgs.DisplayText property.

To learn more, see Custom Formatting.

Example

The following example shows how to provide custom text for the PivotGridControl’s cells by handling the PivotGridControl.CustomCellDisplayText event.

In this example, if a row total value is less than 2000, PivotGridControl displays the ‘Low’ value instead. If the value exceeds 6000, ‘High’ is displayed; otherwise, ‘Middle’.

    End Sub
    Private Sub PivotGridControl1_CustomCellDisplayText(sender As System.Object,
                e As DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.PivotCellDisplayTextEventArgs) Handles pivotGridControl1.CustomCellDisplayText

            Return
        End If
