TimeSpanChartRangeControlClientRange.Max Property

Gets or sets the end bound of a time-span chart client range.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

[XtraSerializableProperty]
public TimeSpan Max { get; set; }

VB.NET

<XtraSerializableProperty>
Public Property Max As TimeSpan

Property Value

Type	Description
TimeSpan	A time-span value that is the range end bound.

Remarks

Use the Max property to specify the end bound range value of a time-span chart range control client. Note that this property takes effect only when the ChartRangeControlClientRange.Auto property is set to false.

Note

The Max property cannot be set to a value less than the TimeSpanChartRangeControlClientRange.Min property.

The following image demonstrates the time-span chart client range specified by TimeSpanChartRangeControlClientRange.Min and Max properties.

TimeSpanChartRangeControlClientRange.Min = 9:00:00, Max = 18:00:00

Example

This example demonstrates how to configure a range control with the time-span chart client to display a chart with time-span data in the range control’s background.

In order to provide data to a chart time-span range control client, access the ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider object using the ChartRangeControlClientBase.DataProvider property and assign a data source to the ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider.DataSource property. Then specify the required data fields via the ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider.ArgumentDataMember, ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider.ValueDataMember, and ChartRangeControlClientDataProvider.SeriesDataMember (optional) properties.

In the current example, a time-span chart client is bound to a simple data table containing three columns (“Argument”, “Value”, and “Series”).

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