PivotGridControl.EndUpdate() Method

Unlocks the PivotGridControl object after a call to the BeginUpdate method and causes an immediate visual update.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.v19.1.dll

Declaration

public virtual void EndUpdate()

Remarks

See PivotGridControl.BeginUpdate to learn more.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to lock the pivot grid, thus preventing it from being redrawn while a sequence of operations that affect its appearance and/or functionality is being performed.In this example, the pivot grid is transposed by moving Row Fields to the Column Area, and vice versa. Prior to this, the BeginUpdate method is called to lock the pivot grid. When the transposition is completed, the pivot grid is unlocked via the EndUpdate method. To ensure that the EndUpdate method is always called even if an exception occurs, calls to the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods are wrapped in a try…finally statement.

            DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now;

            // If an appropriate option is enabled, 
            // locks the pivot grid to prevent further updates.
            if (rbLocked.Checked) pivotGridControl1.BeginUpdate();
            try {

                // Initiates transposition.
                Transpose();

                        field.Area = PivotArea.RowArea;
