Hi donghyun,

Unfortunately this is something that was overlooked in the implementation of the ChartLegend template in XAML. Other customers have reported this problem as well and we will fix it very soon (the fix will probably be out with one of the next internal builds and the service pack for sure). The work-around right now is to re-template the ChartLegend header template.

Here is the header template xaml for the Office_Black theme:

<Setter Property="HeaderTemplate" >
    <Setter.Value>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid>
                <TextBlock FontSize="12"
               FontWeight="Bold"
               Foreground="{StaticResource LegendForeground}"
               Padding="0,0,0,2"
               HorizontalAlignment="Left"
               Width="Auto"
               Height="Auto"
               Text="{Binding}" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
</Setter>

You can apply your custom legend style (overriding the header template) to RadChart.LegendStyle.
Hope this helps.

Hello Benedict,

If RC1 is your RadChart instance you should simply use the LegendItemStyle property like this:

RC1.DefaultView.ChartLegend.LegendItemStyle = new Style() { TargetType=typeof(ChartLegendItem) };
RC1.DefaultView.ChartLegend.LegendItemStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter() { Property = Control.ForegroundProperty, Value = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red) });

Your style can be also declared in XAML of course.

Best wishes,
