The following are some special properties that control the appearance and behavior of decision pivots:
- The first properties listed for TDecisionPivot define its overall behavior and appearance. You might want to set ButtonAutoSize to False for TDecisionPivot to keep buttons from expanding and contracting as you adjust the size of the component.
- The Groups property of TDecisionPivot defines which dimension buttons appear. You can display the row, column, and summary selection button groups in any combination. Note that if you want more flexibility over the placement of these groups, you can place one TDecisionPivot on your form which contains only rows in one location, and a second which contains only columns in another location.
- Typically, TDecisionPivot is added above TDecisionGrid. In its default orientation, horizontal, buttons on the left side of TDecisionPivot apply to fields on the left side of TDecisionGrid (rows); buttons on the right side apply to fields at the top of TDecisionGrid (columns).
- You can determine where TDecisionPivot's buttons appear by setting its GroupLayout property to xtVertical, xtLeftTop, or xtHorizontal (the default, described in the previous paragraph).
