PivotGridControl.SaveCollapsedStateToStream(Stream) Method

Saves the collapsed state of field values to the specified stream.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public void SaveCollapsedStateToStream(
    Stream stream
)

VB.NET

Public Sub SaveCollapsedStateToStream(
    stream As Stream
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
stream	Stream	A Stream descendant to which the collapsed state of field values is saved.

Remarks

The saved settings can then be restored using the PivotGridControl.LoadCollapsedStateFromStream method.

Note

The collapsed states for server mode and regular data sources are stored in different formats and not compatible with each other. Some issues can appear on restoring the collapsed state from different data source modes.

Example

This example demonstrates how to restore the Pivot Grid layout and row/column state.

View Example

The Save button uses the PivotGridControl.SaveLayoutToStream and PivotGridControl.SaveCollapsedStateToStream methods to save the layout and field values’ collapsed state to memory streams.

The Load button uses the PivotGridControl.RestoreLayoutFromStream and PivotGridControl.LoadCollapsedStateFromStream methods to restore the saved layout and column/row state.

The Clear button clears the field collection.
