Public Property FieldGeneratorTemplateSelector As DataTemplateSelector

Property Value

Type	Description
DataTemplateSelector	A DataTemplateSelector object that is a field template selector.

Remarks

The DevExpress WPF PivotGridControl supports field binding. The Pivot Grid can be bound to a collection of objects containing field settings, described in a Model or ViewModel. The PivotGridControl generates fields based on field templates. Using a single template, you can create an unlimited number of fields in an unlimited number of Pivot Grid controls.

To choose the required field template, use the Data Template Selector assigned to the FieldGeneratorTemplateSelector property.

C#

public class FieldTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector {
        public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container) {
            Field field = (Field)item;
            if(field.Interval == FieldGroupInterval.DateYear) {
                return (DataTemplate)((Control)container).FindResource("IntervalFieldTemplate");
            }
            return (DataTemplate)((Control)container).FindResource("DefaultFieldTemplate");
        }
    }
}

VB.NET

Public Class FieldTemplateSelector
    Inherits DataTemplateSelector
        Public Overrides Function SelectTemplate(ByVal item As Object, ByVal container As DependencyObject) As DataTemplate
            Dim field As Field = CType(item, Field)
            If field.Interval = FieldGroupInterval.DateYear Then
                Return CType((CType(container, Control)).FindResource("IntervalFieldTemplate"), DataTemplate)
            End If
            Return CType((CType(container, Control)).FindResource("DefaultFieldTemplate"), DataTemplate)
        End Function
End Class
}

XAML

<Grid> 
        <dxpg:PivotGridControl x:Name="pivotGridControl1" 
                               DataSource="{Binding Data, Source={StaticResource TypedSimpleSource}}" 
                               FieldsSource="{Binding Fields }" 
                               FieldGeneratorTemplateSelector="{StaticResource FieldTemplateSelector}" 
        </dxpg:PivotGridControl>
