Declaration

Event Data

The ShowingCustomizationForm event's data class is CustomizationFormShowingEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Cancel	Gets or sets whether the standard Customization Form should be canceled.
CustomizationForm	Provides access to the Customization Form.
Handled	Obsolete. Gets or sets whether the standard Customization Form should be canceled.
ParentControl	Gets or sets the control to which the Customization Form belongs.

Remarks

The ShowingCustomizationForm event occurs before the Customization Form is displayed. It allows the form to be customized or replaced with a custom form.

The CustomizationFormShowingEventArgs.CustomizationForm parameter refers to the standard Customization Form which is about to be displayed. If the event’s CustomizationFormShowingEventArgs.Cancel parameter is set to true the standard Customization Form will not be displayed. The CustomizationFormShowingEventArgs.ParentControl parameter specifies the control (PivotGrid control) which owns the form.

After the standard Customization Form has been invoked the PivotGridControl.ShowCustomizationForm event is raised.

Example

This example demonstrates how to display the Customization Form near the Pivot Grid.

The form is in SplitContainerControl - a parent container for the Pivot Grid and Customization Form. To specify the SplitContainer’s panel as the Customization Form’s owner, handle the PivotGridControl.ShowingCustomizationForm event and use the e.ParentControl property.

Specify the form’s appearance with the PivotGridOptionsCustomization.CustomizationFormStyle property.

Call the FieldsCustomization method to show the form.
