Set/change chart`s culture info (number format)

[Uros Mally]

Hello,
where can I set/change culture info on chart? I would like to have properly formatted numbers for different languages/regions selected:
When CultureInfo is set to "sl-SI" separating characters should be '.' for group and ',' for decimal (number format example: 123.345.678,00) and if selected CultureInfo is "en-GB" separating characters should be ',' for group and '.' for decimal (number format example: 123,345,678.00)

Thanks,
Uros Mally

Hi Uros,

The RadChart is culture-aware. To enable thousands separators, you need to specify the usage of number format, instead of general format for the labels:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        Random r = new Random();

        InitializeComponent();

        // Uncomment to switch current culture:
        // Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB");

        this.radChart1.PlotArea.YAxis.Appearance.CustomFormat = "N";
        this.radChart1.PlotArea.XAxis.Appearance.CustomFormat = "G";

        ChartSeries series = new ChartSeries();
        series.Type = ChartSeriesType.Bar;

        series.DefaultLabelValue = "#Y{N}";
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            series.Items.Add(new ChartSeriesItem(Math.Round(r.NextDouble() * 10000, 2)));

        this.radChart1.Series.Add(series);
    }
}

Hi,
Thank you for your answer, the only problem was that I set new culture info only to the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture and not Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture .
I have another question:
I would like to display numbers only with group separator (without decimal). Currently I added "#,#" in my custom format property and it works just fine (it is not realy a problem), but I would like to know if there is any other way to specify that format?

Thank you for your assistance,
Uros Mally

Hello Uros,

Using the #,# is the correct way of specifying the format you need.
