This example demonstrates how to customize conditions at runtime. It uses the same approach as the one utilized in the How to enable users to design GridView format conditions at runtime sample, but adapted for the PivotGridControl. There are two additional buttons in PivotGridControl's context menu. They are used to create simple format conditions and conditions with expressions.

How to add an embedded DataNavigator to GridControl via an attached behavior
This example demonstrates how to implement WinForms DataNavigator in WPF via Behavior. For this, it's necessary to re-define the x:Key="{dxgt:TableViewThemeKey ResourceKey=ScrollViewerTemplate}" control template and create the DataNavigator behavior that loads a re-defined template at the moment of attaching.
If you are using themes, you need to re-define a control template for your theme and add it's name to the key - x:Key="{dxgt:TableViewThemeKey ResourceKey=ScrollViewerTemplate, ThemeName=DXStyle}"

Hello,
I've been using this solution for our new project. It is satisfying as a workaround but not for production : what about the other themes you provide ? I don't know their innards (and I don't want to), so what about their templates for this ?
I've tested with DeepBlue for instance (replacing DXStyle by DeepBlue in Dictionary.xaml) and it doesn't work (no navigator displayed). With Office2010Blue it works but the First/Last buttons aren't coherent (not the same glyph, maybe a problem of this theme).
And what about the position of this embedded navigator ? It is above the total summary panel which is a very awkward place ! Not mentioning that your workaround doesn't display anything in design-mode which is not very convenient...
Anyway, you should provide an embedded navigator with your WPF grid (as you did with de WinForms one which is very satisfying and heavily used in our other projects), not a messy workaround which requires the developers to customize your component's innards in order to get such a basic feature !

How to merge cells in the GridControl
This example demonstrates how to achieve the merged cells effect in the GridControl. The main idea consists of stretching the top merged cell and showing it over other merged cells. For this purpose, the Panel.ZIndex and Margin properties are used.
Please take special note that this example doesn't support editing cells. This example is designed for the DeepBlue theme and may need to be modified if you wish to use it in other themes.

How to align a RibbonPageGroup to the right side of a page?
This example demonstrates how to create a custom RibbonControl that displays a group with the "AlignRight" tag assigned at the right side.
Updated:
The example was slightly modified to dispose of a gap which occurs after merging (see Support correct RibbonPageGroups alignment with no gap on ribbon merging).
To enable correct operation, a RibbonPanelComplexLayoutCalculator descendant was created, and the UpdatePanelLayout method was overridden in it.

How to display a custom field value in a custom appointment template
This example illustrates how to display a custom appointment field value (see How to: Create a Custom Field for an Appointment) in the appointment rectangle. We override the appointment template for this purpose in the following manner:
[XAML]<DataTemplatex:Key="{dxscht:SchedulerViewThemeKey ResourceKey=VerticalAppointmentContentTemplate}"><GridSnapsToDevicePixels="True"HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"VerticalAlignment="Stretch"Background="Transparent"> ... <TextBlockText="{Binding CustomViewInfo.Price, StringFormat={}{0:C2}}"Foreground="Red"TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis"/> ... </Grid></DataTemplate>
To pass a custom field value via the CustomViewInfo, handle the SchedulerControl.AppointmentViewInfoCustomizing Event as follows:
[C#]privatevoidschedulerControl1_AppointmentViewInfoCustomizing(objectsender,AppointmentViewInfoCustomizingEventArgse){CustomAppointmentDatacad=newCustomAppointmentData();objectprice=e.ViewInfo.Appointment.CustomFields["cfPrice"];if(price!=null&&price!=DBNull.Value)cad.Price=Convert.ToDecimal(price);e.ViewInfo.CustomViewInfo=cad;}
The CustomAppointmentData class is defined as follows:
[C#]publicclassCustomAppointmentData:DependencyObject{publicstaticreadonlyDependencyPropertyPriceProperty=DependencyProperty.Register("Price",typeof(decimal),typeof(CustomAppointmentData),newPropertyMetadata(0m));publicdecimalPrice{get{return(decimal)GetValue(PriceProperty);}set{SetValue(PriceProperty,value);}}}
Note that this approach is also used in the "Appointment Customization" demo module (see Demos in Installation). In addition, the HorizontalAppointmentContentTemplate in this demo is customized. It affects the appointment appearance in views other than Day and Work Week.
Here is a screenshot that illustrates a sample application in action:

Added By: Anastasius at: 2/25/2013 5:42:00 AMIf i use the RichEditDocumentServer, i lose all PageHeaders. Because you export it als html (only "one" page header) and import it again.
If i export it as rtf, and import it in your RichEditDocumentServer i lose all formats and text "positions" (Formating).
Any idea how i can export and import the XtraReport an also the nessesary Page headers?
Added By: Amrit Singh 1 at: 10/21/2013 11:45:19 AMHi --
Is there an answer for Anastasius's question because I've just boarded the boat he is in. According to the logic you've mentioned below in your solution, You're first exporting the report to html and then saving it as doc or docx which generates the data correctly but I get only one table for all the sections in a report. I want different headers(tables) so I could later modify(add/delete columns and rows in separate tables in separate sections) them per my needs . That was the whole requirement behind needing a report export to doc and docx. Please suggest a solution and also please let me know when DevExpress is coming up with an integrated export to Doc and export to Docx features? In which release? Because that would eliminate lots of code in my application.
Thanks Much

Of course, you are keeping to WYSIWYG concept, But not all of us need it, i also see you said WYSIWYG concept for a long time. But it is not the one what we needed at current and there 're also many places need to be improved before its popular and been accepted. Currently, no any WYSIWYG product can meet my company's requirement for reporting in the market. All of our complex testing/inspection report is generated by pure code. Because the format is so complex. I see this feature were requested so many years by users here. Why you guys can ignore it year by year. Each time the answer is no immediate plan or estimated time to implement it. We all really appreciate your carefully consideration about the voices of us.
Thanks a lot for your great help.

ASPxGridView - How to show the number of selected rows in the Pager bar
This example demonstrates how to show the number of selected rows in the Pager bar. It is necessary to create a custom PagerBar template for this purpose. This template will contain ASPxLabel that allows showing the number of selected rows and a standard pager created via the ASPxGridViewTemplateReplacement control:
[ASPx]<PagerBar><table><tr><td><dx:ASPxGridViewTemplateReplacementrunat="server"ReplacementType="Pager"/></td><td><dx:ASPxLabelID="labelInfo"runat="server"Text=""ClientInstanceName="labelInfo"></dx:ASPxLabel></td></tr></table></PagerBar>
We can get the grid's selected row count via the client-side ASPxClientGridView.GetSelectedRowCount method and then set it to ASPxLabel using the label's SetText method:
[JScript]function ShowRowsCount(){ labelInfo.SetText('Selected rows count: ' + gridView.GetSelectedRowCount());}

How to open an external Page in a Splitter Pane
This example is an illustration of the KA18732: How to open external Page / View in a Splitter Pane KB Article. Refer to the Article for an explanation.
It demonstrates how to open an external Page in a Splitter Pane using navigation extensions.
Set the pane's ContentUrl property to "about:blank". This will render the pane as an iframe.
In addition, set the pane's ContentUrlIFrameName property. This will be the target to open links from the navigation extensions items. Thus, any item's Target property should be equal to the pane's ContentUrlIFrameName property.
pane.ContentUrl = "about:blank";
pane.ContentUrlIFrameName = "NavigationIframe";
Different approaches can be used to set the Target property:
- Item level;
- Extension level;
- Datasource level.

How to update a master grid and all its detail grids operating in Batch Edit mode simultaneously
It's necessary to perform the following steps to accomplish this task:
1) Hide built-in command buttons using the CommandButtonInitialize event and create custom ones;
2) Handle the client-side DetailRowCollapsing , DetailRowExpanding events to track what detail grids are currently expanded;
3) Use the master grid's custom callback (the client-side PerformCallback method) to update all grids simultaneously on the server side;
4) Use the BatchEditConfirmShowing event to avoid losing changes in detail grids on an external callback;
5) Handle the server-side CustomCallback event to get all detail grids using the FindDetailRowTemplateControl method and update them using the UpdateEdit method.
The attached example illustrates how to implement all these steps.

How to save and restore layouts of floating documents residing within DocumentsHost
When you set the BaseView.FloatingDocumentContainer property to DocumentsHost, floating documents are hosted within a container to which other documents can be docked. Thus, this floating container contains its own DocumentManager. As a result, if you wish to save layouts of floating documents residing within such a floating container, you need to access their own DocumentManagers. You can do this in the BaseView.RegisterDocumentsHostWindow event handler. Finally, obtain a corresponding View via the DocumentManager.View property, and use its BaseView.SaveLayoutToXml and BaseView.RestoreLayoutFromXml or BaseView.SaveLayoutToStream and BaseView.RestoreLayoutFromStream methods.
This example illustrates how to collect all the Views associated with floating containers, and save and restore their layouts. In short, we create a list of Views where we add a new View in the BaseView.RegisterDocumentsHostWindow event handler. We also delete a View after its floating container is destroyed in the BaseView.UnregisterDocumentsHostWindow event handler.

How to round corners for a skinned XtraForm/RibbonForm
Use the DevExpress.Utils.Drawing.Helpers.NativeMethods.CreateRoundRegion method. The only difference between the XtraForm that
uses this method and the RibbonForm is that these forms use different skin images. See RibbonForm skin elements whose corners
are rounded. However, the XtraForm skin borders are square. It's impossible to create absolutely correct rounded corners for
the XtraForm without creating a custom skin.
