PivotGridControl.FieldValueTemplate Property

Gets or sets a template used to display field values. This is a dependency property.

Namespace : DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid

Assembly : DevExpress.Xpf.PivotGrid.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Wpf.PivotGrid

Declaration

csharp
public DataTemplate FieldValueTemplate { get; set; }
vb
Public Property FieldValueTemplate As DataTemplate

Property Value

TypeDescription
DataTemplate

A DataTemplate object representing the template used to display field values.

|

Remarks

The FieldValueTemplate is applied to those fields whose PivotGridField.ValueTemplate property is set to null. The PivotGridField.ActualValueTemplate property allows you to obtain which template is currently used for a particular field.

You can implement custom logic to choose the required template using the PivotGridControl.FieldValueTemplateSelector property (or the PivotGridField.ValueTemplateSelector property to do this for individual fields).

Example

View Example: Pivot Grid for WPF - How to Create a Field Value Template

This example defines a custom template used to display field values. The template in this example displays field values with images, as shown in the picture below.

Tip

A complete sample project is available in the DevExpress Code Examples database at https://supportcenter.devexpress.com/ticket/details/e2191/pivot-grid-for-wpf-how-to-create-a-field-value-template.

A custom control CategoriesControl displays the field’s text along with the related image. The required information is retrieved from the DataContext which is converted to the FieldValueElementData type.

A template for a certain field is assigned to the PivotGridField.ValueTemplate property . Also, you can use PivotGridControl.FieldValueTemplate property to apply a custom template to all field values.
