Remarks

The CustomCellDisplayText event provides the ability to customize the display text within data cells (the cells which are displayed within the Data Area). A data cell displays a summary value which is calculated against a specific Data Field. This field is identified by the event’s DataField parameter. The current value and its formatted text representation is specified by the event’s Value and DisplayText parameters.

It’s possible to specify the settings used to format data cells via the PivotGridFieldBase.CellFormat, PivotGridFieldBase.TotalCellFormat and PivotGridFieldBase.GrandTotalCellFormat properties of data fields. So handle the CustomCellDisplayText event if these format properties do not suit your needs.

Use the PivotGridControl.FieldValueDisplayText event or PivotGridFieldBase.ValueFormat property to customize display text used to represent field values.

Cell values can also be replaced with custom ones by handling the PivotGridControl.CustomCellValue event which is raised before the CustomCellDisplayText event.

Important

Do not change cell values, modify the control’s layout, or change the control’s object model in the events used for custom control painting. Actions that update the layout can cause the control to malfunction.

Example

The following example shows how to provide custom text for the PivotGridControl’s cells by handling the PivotGridControl.CustomCellDisplayText event.

In this example, if a row total value is less than 2000, PivotGridControl displays the ‘Low’ value instead. If the value exceeds 6000, ‘High’ is displayed; otherwise, ‘Middle’.
