bar chart labels

[hab]

hi,

i have a regular bar type chart, for example - yAxis the grades and xAxis the Subjects.
each grade appear in label above the according bar.
i have two chartSeries each with a different color - by the skin.

is there any way to make the colors of the labels to be according the bars color?.
is it possible to do it from the skin file?.

any idea?

Hi hab,

You can easily change the foreground of the labels using code like this:

series.Appearance.TextAppearance.TextProperties.Color = Color.Black;

Hope this helps.

thanx for the answer.

i've tried this solution.. stil i get the color set by the skin..

is there any way to make the chart object render the color set from the code behind,
on other words, a way to override the color set by the skin file..

Hello hab,

The code suggested in my previous answer should have worked fine for you, unless the property SkinsOverrideStyles of RadChart is not set to true. Could you please, verify that this property is is set to false during runtime.
