public Task<bool> ExpandAllColumnsAsync()

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:

CollapseAllColumnsAsyncCollapses all columns asynchronously.ExpandAllColumnsExpands all columns.CollapseAllColumnsCollapses all columns.

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

ExpandAllRowsAsyncExpands all rows asynchronously.CollapseAllRowsAsyncCollapses all rows asynchronously.ExpandAllRows()Expands all rows.CollapseAllRowsCollapses 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.
