Remarks
Tip
If you have the Demo Center installed, review the Unbound Fields demo. Check the Display Text Event option.
The following table illustrates event data supplied for different visual elements that trigger the FieldValueDisplayText event.
Visual Element (Event Source) | e.Field value | e.IsPopulatingFilterDropdown value |
---|---|---|
Field value or Total Header | Column field or Row field | false |
Data Field Header | Data field | false |
Grand Total Header | Null | false |
Item within a filter dropdown | Column, row or filter field whose dropdown is invoked | true |
To specify a text to display, assign a string to the PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.DisplayText property. You can use HTML formatting, as illustrated in the HTML in Field Values live example available in our demo center.
To display field values instead of automatically created and formatted strings, use the following code:
Tip
Use the PivotGridControl.CustomCellDisplayText event or PivotGridFieldBase.CellFormat property to customize the display text of cells in the Data area.
Warning
Do not call the e.CreateDrillDownDataSource method in the FieldValueDisplayText handler. There are times (when sorting, filtering a popup) this method may return null or cause other issues.
Example
The PivotGridControl.FieldValueDisplayText
event allows you to customize field value texts for grand totals.
To do this, check the field value type using the PivotFieldValueEventArgsBase<T>.ValueType event parameter and provide the required display texts using PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs.DisplayText.
private void pivotGridControl1_FieldValueDisplayText(object sender, DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.PivotFieldDisplayTextEventArgs e) {
if (e.ValueType == DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.PivotGridValueType.GrandTotal) {
if (e.IsColumn)
e.DisplayText = "*Custom Column Grand Total*";
else
e.DisplayText = "*Custom Row Grand Total*";
}
}
