NumericChartRangeControlClientRange.Min Property

Gets or sets the minimum value of a numeric chart client range.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

[XtraSerializableProperty]
public double Min { get; set; }

VB.NET

<XtraSerializableProperty>
Public Property Min As Double

Property Value

Type	Description
Double	A Double value that is the minimum value of a range.

Remarks

Use the Min property to specify the minimum range value of a numeric chart range control client. Note that this property takes effect only when the ChartRangeControlClientRange.Auto property is set to false.

Note

The Min property cannot be set to a value greater than the NumericChartRangeControlClientRange.Max property.

The following image demonstrates the range of the numeric chart client specified by Min and NumericChartRangeControlClientRange.Max properties.

Min = 2, NumericChartRangeControlClientRange.Max = 15

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).
