I am using flat data source.  What is the suggested pattern for loading a pivot grid async?  Is there an example you can direct me too?

Thanks,

Sam

>>  I suggest you to complete expand/select/unselect actions before add the filter view model to Filters collection, because at this point the UI for the filter view model is not created yet.

Plamen, I'm sorry but I do not understand anything of what you said. 

Remember that the Refresh method is called whenever the criteria filter for the grid is changed.

Do you have a code sample?

Hi Sam,

I suppose the issue here is produced by XamTree control we use in v11.2 to display the UI representation of the hierarchy in the pivot grid. I suggest you to complete expand/select/unselect actions before add the filter view model to Filters collection, because at this point the UI for the filter view model is not created yet.

Plamen.

Hello Plamen,

Here is the code that is blocking.
Refresh is a method on my view that refreshes the xampivot grid.
XAMPivotFilterHelper is a helper class that contains some utility methods, one of which is FilterOption.
This method (FilterOption) is called several times by Refesh to set default filter options on the xampivot grid.  Its very slow!

private void Refresh()
        {
            ViewModel.LoadingData = true;
            _mre = new ManualResetEvent(false);

            ExposureGrid.DataSource.DeferredLayoutUpdate = true;
           
            if (ExposureGrid.DataSource.Filters.Count > 0)
                ExposureGrid.DataSource.Filters.Clear();
           
            FilterHelper = new XAMPivotFilterHelper<ExposureItem> { FlatDataSource = ((FlatDataSource)ExposureGrid.DataSource) };
            FilterHelper.FlatDataSource.ItemsSource = ViewModel.ExposureItems;

            ExposureGrid.DataSource.Filters.Add(ExposureGrid.DataSource.CreateFilterViewModel(
            ExposureGrid.DataSource.Cube.Dimensions["PM_Name"].Hierarchies.First()));

            ExposureGrid.DataSource.Filters.Add(ExposureGrid.DataSource.CreateFilterViewModel(
                ExposureGrid.DataSource.Cube.Dimensions["DeliveryDate"].Hierarchies.First()));

           
            FilterHelper.FlatDataSource.HierarchyDescriptors.Where(x => x.HierarchyName == "Collateral")
                .Single().LevelDescriptors[1].OrderByKeyExpression = (Expression<Func<ExposureItem, string>>) (x => x.Collateral);

            FilterHelper.FlatDataSource.HierarchyDescriptors.Where(x => x.HierarchyName == "Type")
                .Single().LevelDescriptors[1].OrderByKeyExpression = (Expression<Func<ExposureItem, string>>)(x => x.Type);

            FilterHelper.FlatDataSource.HierarchyDescriptors.Where(x => x.HierarchyName == "Coupon")
                .Single().LevelDescriptors[1].OrderByKeyExpression = (Expression<Func<ExposureItem, decimal>>)(x => x.Coupon);

            FilterHelper.FlatDataSource.HierarchyDescriptors.Where(x => x.HierarchyName == "AcctNo")
                .Single().LevelDescriptors[1].OrderByKeyExpression = (Expression<Func<ExposureItem, decimal>>)(x => x.AcctNo);

            FilterHelper.FilterOption("DeliveryDate", "All", false); // Slow!!!
            FilterHelper.FilterOption("DeliveryDate", "N/A", true); // Slow!!!
            OnDeliveryChanged(this, new EventArgs()); // Slow!!!
            OnPMFilterChanged(this, new EventArgs()); // Slow!!!
           
            IFilterViewModel fvm = FilterHelper.GetFilterViewModel("Collateral");
            fvm.LoadFilterMembersCompleted += (s, e) => _mre.Set();
           
            foreach (Infragistics.Olap.Data.IFilterMember member in fvm.FilterMembers)
                FilterHelper.ExpandHierarchy(member, true);
           
            fvm = FilterHelper.GetFilterViewModel("Type");
            fvm.LoadFilterMembersCompleted += (s, e) => _mre.Set();

            foreach (Infragistics.Olap.Data.IFilterMember member in fvm.FilterMembers)
                FilterHelper.ExpandHierarchy(member, true);

            ExposureGrid.DataSource.ResultChanged += FilterHelper.HierarchyChanged;
            ExposureGrid.DataSource.DeferredLayoutUpdate = false;
            ViewModel.LoadingData = false;
        }

Hi Sam,

Could you refer us to the point where the UI is blocked, when specific method is called or property is set.

Thanks.
Plamen.
