NumericChartRangeControlClient.Range Property

Provides access to the range settings of the numeric chart range control client.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

#Declaration

[DXCategory("Behavior")]
[XtraSerializableProperty(XtraSerializationVisibility.Content)]
public NumericChartRangeControlClientRange Range { get; }

#Property Value

Type Description
NumericChartRangeControlClientRange

A NumericChartRangeControlClientRange object that contains settings to customize the range of the numeric chart range control client.

#Remarks

Use the Range property to access the range settings of the numeric chart range control client. After that, you can define a custom range using the NumericChartRangeControlClientRange.Min and NumericChartRangeControlClientRange.Max properties or use the automatic range calculation (the ChartRangeControlClientRange.Auto is set to true).

#Example

This example shows how to bind a numeric chart range control client to a System.Collections.Generic.List containing NumericItem objects.

In order to provide data to a chart numeric range control client, you need to access the ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider object using the ChartRangeControlClientBase.DataProvider property and assign a data source to the ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider.DataSource property.

Each NumericItem object contains Argument, Value and Series properties, to which a numeric chart range control client is bound via its ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider.ArgumentDataMember, ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider.ValueDataMember, and ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider.SeriesDataMember (optional) properties.

In addition, this example shows how to customize chart client common settings (e.g., change the numeric range, customize template view and grid options).
