PivotGridControl.ExpandAllColumnsAsync() Method

Expands all columns asynchronously.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.PivotGrid

Declaration

C#

public Task<bool> ExpandAllColumnsAsync()

VB.NET

Public Function ExpandAllColumnsAsync As Task(Of Boolean)

Returns

Type	Description
Task<Boolean>	An asynchronous operation that returns true in case of success.

Remarks

The ExpandAllColumnsAsync method is asynchronous. ExpandAllColumnsAsync starts to execute the related operation in a background thread, and returns the Pivot Grid control. The main UI thread remains unblocked to allow the application to continue responding to user actions. Refer to the following topic for more information: Asynchronous Mode.

Use the following methods to collapse or expand Pivot Grid columns:

CollapseAllColumnsAsync

Collapses all columns asynchronously.

ExpandAllColumns

Expands all columns.

CollapseAllColumns

Collapses all columns.

Use the following methods to collapse or expand Pivot Grid rows:

ExpandAllRowsAsync

Expands all rows asynchronously.

CollapseAllRowsAsync

Collapses all rows asynchronously.

ExpandAllRows()

Expands all rows.

CollapseAllRows

Collapses all rows.

You can specify whether a user can expand or collapse field values in the UI. For this, use the PivotGridFieldOptions.AllowExpand property.

Example

The following example shows how to expand all columns in the Pivot Grid asynchronously. The image below displays the resulting Pivot Grid with expanded columns for the Country and City fields.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApp2 {
    public partial class Form1 : Form {
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
            pivotGridControl1.OptionsBehavior.UseAsyncMode = true;
            ConfigureLayout();
        }
        async void ConfigureLayout() {
            pivotGridControl1.BeginUpdate();
            // Create and configure Pivot Grid fields
            PivotGridField fieldCountry = pivotGridControl1.Fields.Add("Country", PivotArea.ColumnArea);
            fieldCountry.DataBinding = new DataSourceColumnBinding("[Customer].[Country].[Country]");
            fieldCountry.Name = "fieldCountry";

            PivotGridField fieldCity = pivotGridControl1.Fields.Add("City", PivotArea.ColumnArea);
            fieldCity.DataBinding = new DataSourceColumnBinding("[Customer].[City].[City]");
            fieldCity.Name = "fieldCity";
            // ...
            await pivotGridControl1.EndUpdateAsync();

            await pivotGridControl1.ExpandAllColumnsAsync();
        }
    }
}
