Can't change report title font size

[Terry]

Hi:

My titles are getting truncated in charts, so I want to make the font size (11 by default on my system) smaller.  Neither of the following is working.  Am I using the wrong properties?

 

            RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartTitle.FontSize = 8.0;       // doesn't work
            RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartTitle.FontStretch = FontStretches.Condensed;     // doesn't work
            RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartTitle.Content = "Non-Responses by Payer " + startDate.ToShortDateString()
                + " - " + endDate.ToShortDateString();

Thanks,

Terry

Hi Terry,

Unfortunately, with the current version of the control the FontSize property of the ChartTitle is not template bound, so setting this property to a value does not change anything. This is about to be fixed in the next version of the control.

In the meanwhile, we can recommend you to use the following code:

xmlns:chart="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting"

<Style x:Name="ChartTitleStyle" TargetType="chart:ChartTitle">
                <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="8"/>
                <Setter Property="Template" >
                    <Setter.Value>
                        <ControlTemplate TargetType="chart:ChartTitle">
                            <Border  Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                             BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}"
                             BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
                                <Grid>
                                    <ContentControl
                            HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalAlignment}"
                            VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalAlignment}"
                            Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
                            Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"
                            Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}"
                            FontSize="{TemplateBinding FontSize}"
                            FontStyle="{TemplateBinding FontStyle}"
                            FontWeight="{TemplateBinding FontWeight}"
                            FontFamily="{TemplateBinding FontFamily}" />
                                </Grid>
                            </Border>
                        </ControlTemplate>
                    </Setter.Value>
                </Setter>
            </Style>


 RadChart1.TitleStyle = this.ChartTitleStyle;

All the best,
