RadHorizontalDataAxis LabelFormat

[jen]

I am trying to set the LabelFormat on a RadHorizontalDataAxis, but everything I try turns out to be in the wrong format.

    <telerik:RadHorizontalDataAxis  Minimum="-30"  Maximum="50" LabelsVisibility="FirstLastAndOriginValueOnly" />

I want the labels to display as  " -30%   0%    50% "

I have tried setting the string in xaml, and in the loaded event (a binding won't work for me because of where it is in the visual tree)

LabelFormat = "{0}%" - invalid format

LabelFormat = "/{0/}/%"- invalid format

LabelFormat = "P" - applies a calculation "-300.000%  0.000% 500.000%" which I could work around, if there is a way to hide the decimals?

 

Can anyone help me out? None the formatting examples ever seem to show how to set stringformats in xaml with the proper characters escapes

Hello,

If I understood you correctly what you are trying to achieve is to only add the "%" symbol at the end of the axis values. If that so, you could take advantage of the axis' LabelTemplate property along with a converter in order to concatenate the symbol at the end of the axis label value.
For example:

<telerik:LinearAxis>
    <telerik:LinearAxis.LabelTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Converter={StaticResource converter}}" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:LinearAxis.LabelTemplate>
</telerik:LinearAxis>

public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
{
    return (string)value + "%";
}

Hope this helps.
