Main characteristics of Pivot Table control

"General" tab

The "General" tab found in the description of the Pivot Table control is used to define:
  • the position of displayed values: Several values can be displayed in the Pivot Table control. The values can be displayed:
    • side by side:
    • one below another:
  • the position of totals: The Pivot Table control can calculate the totals of displayed values. The totals can:
    • be displayed at the bottom right (at the end of row and column).
    • be hidden.
    • be displayed at the bottom only (at the end of column).
    • be displayed on the right only (at the end of row).
    The option "Totals always visible" allows you to display the totals at the end of the row and/or column even if the row or column is not fully displayed. In this case, the totals are always visible.

"GUI" tab

The "GUI" tab is mainly used to:
  • define the initial status of the control.
  • define the popup menu associated with the control (menu of AAFs, custom menu, ...).
  • Versions 20 and later
    define the selection mode. The option "Allow the multiple selection of rows, columns and cells" allows the user to select several columns, rows or cells at the same time. The options proposed by the menu of AAFs are applied to all the selected cells (copy, background color, ...).
    You also have the ability to define the selection mode by programming with ..Multiselection.

2. Display filters (advanced use). This list allows you to view the display filter(s) used on the Pivot Table control. These filters can be used by PVTFilter.
To add or modify the filters, all you have to do is click inside the section. The details of filters are displayed.
