Public ReadOnly Property AppearancePage As WizardPage

Property Value

Type	Description
WizardPage	A WizardPage object which represents the Appearance page.

Remarks

There are different ways to access a wizard’s pages. One of them is to obtain a required group from the ChartWizard.Groups array, and then obtain a required page from the WizardGroup.Pages array. However, this approach appears to be inflexible, as it involves a group’ and page index.

If you want to get direct access to a specific wizard group or page, use one of the following properties.

ChartWizard.ConstructionGroup

1. ChartWizard.ChartTypePage
2. AppearancePage
3. ChartWizard.SeriesPage
4. ChartWizard.DataPage

ChartWizard.PresentationGroup

1. ChartWizard.ChartPage
2. ChartWizard.DiagramPage
3. ChartWizard.PanePage
4. ChartWizard.AxisPage
5. ChartWizard.SeriesViewPage
6. ChartWizard.SeriesLabelsPage
7. ChartWizard.TitlePage
8. ChartWizard.LegendPage
9. ChartWizard.AnnotationPage

Example

The following example demonstrates how to hide certain property tabs on a Chart Wizard‘s page at runtime. This technique is useful to prevent the end-users from modifying particular chart settings.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraCharts.Wizard;
// ...

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    // Create a new Wizard.
    ChartWizard wizard = new ChartWizard(this.chartControl1);

    // Obtain a Data page.
    WizardDataPage page = wizard.DataPage;

    // Hide the tabs related to a data source on the Data page.
    page.HiddenPageTabs.Add(DataPageTab.AutoCreatedSeries);
    page.HiddenPageTabs.Add(DataPageTab.SeriesBinding);

    // Invoke the Wizard window.
    wizard.ShowDialog();
}

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraCharts.Wizard;
' ...

Private Sub button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
Handles button1.Click
    ' Create a new Wizard.
    Dim wizard As New ChartWizard(Me.chartControl1)

    ' Obtain a Data page.
    Dim page As WizardDataPage = wizard.DataPage

    ' Hide the tabs related to a data source on the Data page.
    page.HiddenPageTabs.Add(DataPageTab.AutoCreatedSeries)
    page.HiddenPageTabs.Add(DataPageTab.SeriesBinding)

    ' Invoke the Wizard window.
    wizard.ShowDialog()
End Sub
