ExplainFormulaBehavior Class

Generates a detailed explanation of the formula used in a worksheet cell (clarifying its purpose and function).

Namespace: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

Assembly: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms

#Declaration

public sealed class ExplainFormulaBehavior :
    ChangeTextBehaviorBase

#Remarks

The following example registers the ExplainFormulaBehavior and assigns it to the WinForms Spreadsheet control:

using DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms;

  //...
public SpreadsheetForm() {
    InitializeComponent();
    behaviorManager1.Attach<ExplainFormulaBehavior>(spreadsheetControl1);
}

Note

Call the BehaviorInitializer.Initialize() method at application startup if your project targets the .NET Framework and you create AI-powered behaviors in code. Otherwise, an exception is thrown.

C#
internal static class Program {
    [STAThread]
    static void Main() {
        //...
        // The Initialize() method forcibly initializes the behavior manager in .NET Framework apps.
        DevExpress.AIIntegration.WinForms.BehaviorInitializer.Initialize();
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}
