Value label color...

[ManniAT]

Hi,

since the chart (and was it doe's with visual studio) almost drives me crazy - I have a simple question.
I simply want to change the color of the text showing the value to black.
I could manage it to set the "Label (DataLabel) color" but I can't find a way to change the color of the "value" shown on top of the bar.
I really hope this needs no code behind :)

My chart looks like this (at least when it doesn't change by itself :)):

        <telerik:RadChart ID="rcGespraechsAuswertung2" runat="server" Width="910px" Height="500px" IntelligentLabelsEnabled="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" AutoLayout="true" Legend-Appearance-Visible="false" SeriesOrientation="Horizontal">
            <Appearance>
                <FillStyle MainColor="255, 255, 220" FillType="Solid">
                </FillStyle>
                <Border Color="103, 136, 190" />
            </Appearance>
            <PlotArea>
            <Appearance>
                <FillStyle MainColor="255, 255, 220" FillType="Solid">
                </FillStyle>
                <Border Color="149, 184, 206" />
            </Appearance>
                <XAxis DataLabelsColumn="Beschr">
                    <Appearance TextAppearance-TextProperties-Color="Black" Color="Black" MajorTick-Color="165, 190, 223">
                        <MajorGridLines Color="165, 190, 223" />
                    </Appearance>
                </XAxis>
                <YAxis AxisMode="Normal">
                    <Appearance TextAppearance-TextProperties-Color="Black" Color="Black" MajorTick-Color="165, 190, 223" MinorTick-Color="165, 190, 223">
                        <MajorGridLines Color="165, 190, 223" />
                        <MinorGridLines Color="165, 190, 223" Width="0" />
                    </Appearance>
                </YAxis>
            </PlotArea>
            <ChartTitle>
                <Appearance Dimensions-Width="900px" Dimensions-Margins="3px, 0px, 0px, 0px" Dimensions-Paddings="0,0,0,0">
                </Appearance>
                <TextBlock Text="Gesprächsauswertung">
                    <Appearance TextProperties-Color="Black" TextProperties-Font="Arial, 12pt, style=bold" Dimensions-Width="870px" Dimensions-Height="24px" Dimensions-AutoSize="false" Dimensions-Paddings="3,3,0,0">
                    <FillStyle MainColor="#859bbc" FillType="Solid" />
                    </Appearance>
                </TextBlock>
            </ChartTitle>
        </telerik:RadChart>

By the way - this "Color=Black" has no effect - it was just a try to change this text.
And what I mean about "if it does not change by itself" - I swear the thing is horrible.
I'll prepare a short video to show what I mean.

But my only problem is the color or this value text.

Hi,

and on this way a different problem.
I want to make the chart title a whole line on top of the chart.
I can achive this (almost) with the width.
But there is a left border. So I messed arrond with the borders.

            <ChartTitle>
                <Appearance Dimensions-Width="910px" Dimensions-Margins="0px; 0px; 0px; 0px" Dimensions-Paddings="0;0;0;0">
                </Appearance>
                <TextBlock Text="Gesprächsauswertung">
                    <Appearance TextProperties-Color="Black" TextProperties-Font="Arial, 12pt, style=bold" Dimensions-Width="900px"  Dimensions-Margins="20;10;10;10" Dimensions-Height="24px" Dimensions-AutoSize="false" Dimensions-Paddings="3;3;0;0">
                    <FillStyle MainColor="#859bbc" FillType="Solid" />
                    </Appearance>
                </TextBlock>
            </ChartTitle>

In the appearance of the textblock I tried a lot of different values.
But it seems as if only the first value changes anything - but this change takes place on every side...
And negative values (my idea since the block would fill if it wouldn't have a margin on the left do not work.

So how to make this "block" display on the whole width?

Regards

Sorry,

I got a partial solution for margins -- it seems as if I have to use commas instead of semicolumns.
Although when I reset the value it shows 1px; 1px; 1px; 1px as default.

Anyhow - I still found no way to avoid this (about 10px) left border.

Hello Manfred,

The title - you can place it at your own position:

<ChartTitle>
    <Appearance Dimensions-Width="900px" Dimensions-Margins="3px, 0px, 0px, 0px"  Dimensions-Paddings="0,0,0,0" Position-Auto="False" Position-X="0"  Position-Y="5">
    </Appearance>

The item labels - in case you have defined the series in the markup you can use this example:

<telerik:ChartSeries Name="Series 1">
    <Appearance>
        <TextAppearance TextProperties-Color="Red">
        </TextAppearance>
    </Appearance>

However, if your series are created in the code behind, you will need to set the text color in code behind too.

As for the spell checker -- it seems to be working fine now. Let us know if you still have problems with it.

Hi Ves,

maybe I didn't point this out.
I have some charts where I do the things in code behind - here I create the series - no problems with the text style.

My problem was with "databinding generated" series.
Your second snippet was exactly what I've been looking for..

And of course - your first post solve the caption thing :)

Thanks a lot for the great support

Manfred
PS: and yes - spellchecking is working again
