Returns:
Returns the number of maximum columns to be added during the execution of the current layout.
Type
number

GetDisplayPivotRows() → {number}

GetFormatPivotHeader() → {string}

The GetFormatPivotHeader() method specifies the format to display the columns within the pivot bar
Returns:

The formatPivotHeader property supports the following keywords:

aggregate {string}, specifies the name of the aggregate-function associated with the column, or empty, for pivot-rows columns
ilevel {number}, indicates the index of the level where the aggregate-function is shown. This is valid for total-rows only, else it is -1
caption {string}, indicates the original-caption of the column
icaption {number}, specifies the index of the column
display {number}, specifies whether the caption is shown on the control's pivot bar (0), or in the columns header(1)
Type
string

GetPivotBarVisible() → {Pivot.PivotBarVisibleEnum}

The GetPivotBarVisible() method specifies whether the control's pivot-bar is visible or hidden.
Returns:
Specifies whether the pivot-columns window is visible or hidden. The PivotBarVisibleEnum type supports the following values:
  • exPivotBarHidden(0), the pivot bar is hidden.
  • exPivotBarVisible(1), the pivot bar is visible. include or exclude this flag to show or hide the pivot bar.
  • exPivotBarSizable(2), the pivot bar is sizable. Include or exclude this flag to allow or prevent resizing the pivot bar at runtime. If this flag is present, the user can resize the pivot bar by dragging the bottom side of the control. The resize cursor is shown when the pivot bar is resizable and cursor hovers the bottom side of the pivot bar.
  • exPivotBarFloat(4), the pivot bar is shown into a floating window. Include this flag, to display the pivot bar to a separate window (a floating panel)
  • exPivotBarAutoFit(8), the pivot bar's size is updated automatically so all elements fits the client area (When this flag is present, the height of the pivot's bar is automatically adjusted so the entire content fits the header).
  • exPivotBarShowTotals(16), the pivot bar shows the total/sub-total fields. Include or exclude this flag to show or hide the Total field in the pivot bar.
  • exPivotBarAutoHide(32), shows the pivotbar as soon as the cursor hovers it, and hides it as soon as the cursor leaves it
  • exPivotBarAllowValues(64), specifies if the user can drop values of the columns to the pivot bar.
  • exPivotBarAllowFormatAppearance(128), specifies if the user can select a different appearance for columns or total/subtotal fields.

  • exPivotBarAutoUpdate(512), indicates whether the control' list (pivot-table) is automatically updated once the user drops objects in the pivot bar. Exclude this flag from the pivotBarVisible property, and so the Refresh button is shown in the bottom side of the control, and the changes will be applied to the control's list once the user clicks the Refresh button. Once the data is updated, the buttons shows as disabled until next change occurs.
  • exPivotBarAllowUndoRedo(1024), indicates if the pivot bar allows Undo/Redo operations, if the user presses the CTRL+Z/Y. The control restores the previously layout once the user presses the CTRL + Z keys combination. The control restores the next layout once the user presses the CTRL + Y keys combination. Exclude this flag, and the Undo/Redo feature is disabled.
  • exPivotBarAllowResizeColumns(2048), indicates if the user can resize the columns in the pivot bar. This flag affects the columns to be displayed din the pivot bar, not the columns to be displayed in the control's list.
  • exPivotBarHideAddNew(4096), prevents showing the add new buttons in the pivot bar. Clicking the Add New button displays a list of columns or aggregate functions that can be added in the current context.
  • exPivotBarContextSortAscending(0x10000), shows the columns alphabetically in ascending order. This flag can be combined with exPivotBarContextSortReverse and so, the columns will be alphabetically displayed in descending order.
  • exPivotBarContextSortReverse(0x100000), shows the columns in reverse order. This flag can be combined with exPivotBarContextSortAscending and so, the columns will be alphabetically displayed in descending order.
  • exPivotBarReadOnly(0x10000000), makes the pivot bar read only, so no changes are allowed
