public event PivotFieldDisplayTextEventHandler FieldValueDisplayText

Event Data

The FieldValueDisplayText event's data class is PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property Description
CustomTotal Gets the custom total which the currently processed column/row header corresponds to. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
DataField Gets the data field that identifies the processed value. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
DisplayText Gets or sets the item’s display text.
Field Gets the field being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldEventArgs.
FieldIndex Gets the field’s position among the visible fields within the header area. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
Handled Gets or sets a value that indicates the present state of the event handling for a routed event as it travels the route. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
IsCollapsed Gets whether the processed field value is collapsed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
IsColumn Gets whether the field is displayed within the Column Header Area. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
IsOthersValue Gets whether the current header corresponds to the “Others” row/column. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
IsPopulatingFilterDropdown Gets whether the current event is called to populate the filter dropdown.
MaxIndex Gets the maximum row index (for row fields) or column index (for column fields) that corresponds to the field value currently being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
MinIndex Gets the minimum row index (for row fields) or column index (for column fields) that corresponds to the field value currently being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
OriginalSource Gets the original reporting source as determined by pure hit testing, before any possible Source adjustment by a parent class. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
RoutedEvent Gets or sets the RoutedEvent associated with this RoutedEventArgs instance. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
Selected Gets whether the processed field value is selected. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
Source Gets or sets a reference to the object that raised the event. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
ThreadSafeDataField Gets the data field that identifies the processed value. Provides read-only access to field settings.
ThreadSafeField Gets the field being processed. Provides read-only access to field settings.
Value Gets the processed item’s value.
ValueType Gets the type of the currently processed column/row header. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method Description
ChangeExpandedState() Changes the expanded state of the field value currently being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
CreateDrillDownDataSource() Returns a list of records associated with the field value currently being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
CreateDrillDownDataSource(Int32, List<String>) Returns a list of records used to calculate a summary value for the specified cell. Allows you to specify the columns, and limit the number of records to be returned. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
CreateOlapDrillDownDataSource(Int32, List<String>) Obsolete. In OLAP 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 PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
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 PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
GetCellValue(Int32, Int32) Returns a value displayed in the specified cell. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
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 PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
GetHigherLevelFields() Returns the parent field(s) for the field value being currently processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
GetHigherLevelFieldValue(PivotGridField) Returns the value of a specific parent field corresponding to the field value currently being processed. Inherited from PivotFieldValueEventArgs.
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.
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

Handle the FieldValueDisplayText event to do the following:

  • Customize the text displayed within column or row headers (field values, totals, grand totals, etc.).

    If the FieldValueDisplayText event is raised for a field value or total header, the Field parameter identifies the corresponding column field or row field. If this event is raised for a data field header, the Field parameter identifies the corresponding data field. If the event is raised for a grand total header, the Field property returns null. To get the type of the processed header, use the PivotFieldValueEventArgs.ValueType property.

  • Customize the text of items displayed within the filter dropdown. In this instance, the event parameter’s PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.IsPopulatingFilterDropdown property is set to true. The Field parameter returns the column, row or filter field whose dropdown has been invoked.

To specify a custom display text for a header or filter window’s item, assign the required string to the PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.DisplayText property.

To learn more, see Custom Formatting.

Note

If a field’s PivotGridField.SortMode property is set to FieldSortMode.DisplayText and the pivot grid is in an Asynchronous Mode, the FieldValueDisplayText event is handled in a background thread. In this instance, you cannot access the PivotFieldEventArgs.Field and PivotFieldValueEventArgs.DataField event parameter’s properties. Use the PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.ThreadSafeField and PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.ThreadSafeDataField properties instead.

Example

The PivotGridControl.FieldValueDisplayText event allows you to customize field value texts for grand totals.

WpfPivot_CustomGrandTotalText

To do this, check the field value type using the PivotFieldValueEventArgs.ValueType event parameter and provide the required display texts using PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.DisplayText.

private void PivotGridControl_FieldValueDisplayText(object sender, DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs e) {
    if (e.ValueType == DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.FieldValueType.GrandTotal) {
        if (e.IsColumn)
            e.DisplayText = "*Custom Column Grand Total*";
        else
            e.DisplayText = "*Custom Row Grand Total*";
    }
}
