    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,
