PivotGridControl.PrintFieldValueTemplateSelector Property

Gets or sets a template selector that chooses a print template for field values based on custom logic. This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.v18.2.dll

Declaration

public DataTemplateSelector PrintFieldValueTemplateSelector { get; set; }

Property Value

Type Description
DataTemplateSelector

A DataTemplateSelector descendant that chooses a template based on custom logic.

Remarks

A template that defines the presentation of field values when the pivot grid is printed is specified by the PivotGridControl.PrintFieldValueTemplate property. If you have more than one template that can be used to render field values, you can implement custom logic to choose the required template. To do this, derive from the DataTemplateSelector class, implement the SelectTemplate method that returns a template which meets the required condition, and assign an instance of this class to the PrintFieldValueTemplateSelector property.

The PrintFieldValueTemplateSelector is used for those fields whose PivotGridField.PrintValueTemplateSelector property is not specified.

The PrintFieldValueTemplateSelector is in effect only if the PivotGridControl.PrintFieldValueTemplate property is set to null (Nothing in Visual Basic). Otherwise, the PivotGridControl.PrintFieldValueTemplate template is used.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to select print templates for the DXPivotGrid elements based on custom logic.In this example, the template used to print data cells is selected based on the share of the data cell value in the Column Grand Total value. If this share is bigger than 80% or less than 20%, the template selector applies a specific template that highlights the cell value and prints the warning sign near it.

namespace DXPivotGrid_SelectingPrintTemplate {
    public partial class MainWindow : Window {

            PrintHelper.ShowPrintPreview(this, picotGridControl1);

    public class CellTemplateSelector : DataTemplateSelector {
        public override DataTemplate SelectTemplate(object item, DependencyObject container) {
            Window mainWindow = Application.Current.MainWindow;
            CellsAreaItem cell = (CellsAreaItem)item;

            // Calculates the share of a cell value in the Column Grand Total value.
            double share = Convert.ToDouble(cell.Value) / Convert.ToDouble(cell.ColumnTotalValue);

            // Applies the Normal template to the Column Grand Total cells.
            if (cell.ColumnValue == null)
                return mainWindow.FindResource("NormalCellTemplate") as DataTemplate;

            // If the share is too far from 50%, the Highlighted template is selected.
            // Otherwise, the Normal template is applied to the cell.
            if (share > 0.8 || share < 0.2)
                return mainWindow.FindResource("HighlightedCellTemplate") as DataTemplate;
            else
                return mainWindow.FindResource("NormalCellTemplate") as DataTemplate;
        }
    }
