DrillBack Method

Drills back up one level in the drill down hierarchy to the parent chart of the currently displayed chart.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Function DrillBack() As Boolean

C#

public bool DrillBack()

Return Value

True if the user drilled back up one level, false otherwise (the user must already be at the topmost chart in the drill down hierarchy).

Remarks

This method allows application logic to drill back up the chart, refreshing the chart with the information and presentation of the parent chart. The effects of calling DrillBack() or using the ShowButton property is identical.

Developers may call DrillBack() repeatedly in a loop, until the method returns false, to quickly ascend to the topmost chart in the drill down hierarchy from any child chart. When doing so, it is advisable to first set UltraChart's Visible property to false to prevent screen flicker as chart type may change in the process of drilling back to the topmost chart from great depth.
