[Solved] Binding property for label style's margin

[Trump]

Right now I set up the label's margin in xaml

<telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>
                <telerik:CategoricalAxis MajorTickLength="0" LineStroke="Transparent">
                      <telerik:CategoricalAxis.LabelStyle>
                           <Style TargetType="TextBlock">
                                <Setter Property="Margin" Value="20 10 15 20" />
                           </Style>
                      </telerik:CategoricalAxis.LabelStyle>
                </telerik:CategoricalAxis.LabelStyle>
</telerik:RadCartesianChart.HorizontalAxis>

But I want to use property binding, so I created the property in View Model. The type of property is Thickness. But it is not working. I doubt that CategoricalAxis doesn't support it because I saw an example.

Thanks for advice.

Hello,

To achieve the desired result you will need to set the ClipToBounds property of the RadCartesianChart to False, and add a bottom margin to it with the value of the label's bottom and top margins combined. This is required as the control will not take into account these margins when they are set trough a binding as it is evaluated too late.

I'm attaching a small sample project to better demonstrate what I have in mind. Please let me know whether such an approach would work for you.
