FieldLayoutOffsetX Property

Gets or sets the amount to offset between FieldLayoutGroupByInfos in the X dimension.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Property FieldLayoutOffsetX As Double

C#

public double FieldLayoutOffsetX {get; set;}

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	If set to infinity.

Remarks

This setting will be used to calculate the correct OffsetProperty that will be set of each FieldLayoutGroupByInfo. This Offset is bound to the Margin property of the root element of the FieldLayoutGroupByInfo's DataTempate.

Note: only positive values, neagtive values, 0 or NaN are allowed.

Example

The following code sets the Group ByAreaMode property to 'MultipleFieldLayoutsCompact' so that any grouped fields will be displayed horizontally inside the GroupByAreaMulti in a single list. It also demonstrates how to specifiy various options to control the layout and and content of the GroupByAreaMutli.

Visual Basic

' set GroupByAreaMode to 'MultipleFieldLayoutsCompact' so that all
' fields will be displayed horizontally in a single list
'
' Note: the default value is 'MultipleFieldLayoutsFull' which will
'       display the FieldLayouts hierarchically.
Me.xamDataGrid1.GroupByAreaMode = GroupByAreaMode.MultipleFieldLayoutsCompact

Dim grpByAreaMulti As GroupByAreaMulti = Me.xamDataGrid1.GroupByAreaMulti

' specify the pen used for connecting fields in the GroupByAreaMulti
grpByAreaMulti.ConnectorLinePen = New Pen(Brushes.Red, 2)

' set an optional offset between fields in the GroupByAreaMulti
grpByAreaMulti.FieldOffsetX = 10
grpByAreaMulti.FieldOffsetY = 10

' set an optional offset between fieldlayouts in the GroupByAreaMulti
' (e.g. with hierachical and/or heterogenuous data) 
grpByAreaMulti.FieldLayoutOffsetX = 15
grpByAreaMulti.FieldLayoutOffsetY = 5

' You can optionally set the 2 prompts displayed in the GroupByAreaMulti
grpByAreaMulti.Prompt1 = "*** Groupby Area ***"
grpByAreaMulti.Prompt2 = "Drag a field here to group by that field."

' Specify an optional custom template for the FieldLayout description
' Note": The FieldLayout description is only visible when there
'        are fields from multiple FieldLayouts present.
Dim template As Object = Me.TryFindResource("MyCustomTemplate")

If TypeOf template Is DataTemplate Then
    grpByAreaMulti.FieldLayoutDescriptionTemplate = CType(template, DataTemplate)
End If

// set GroupByAreaMode to 'MultipleFieldLayoutsCompact' so that all
// fields will be displayed horizontally in a single list
