Connectors are not displayed when customStyle is set

[Uma Shanmugam]

I have a 2D pie series chart with showConnectors enabled . This works fine but the business wants white  background for the label. So I added the following style

 

 

<Style x:Name ="customLabelStyle" TargetType="chart:SeriesItemLabel">

 

 

 

<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />

 

 

 

</Style>

 

 

 

 

and set this custom style as following in the  piesereis definition.

psd.SeriesItemLabelStyle =

this.CustomLabelStyle;

 

 

 

psd.LabelSettings.ShowConnectors = true;

 

 

  psd.LabelSettings.SpiderModeEnabled =

true;

When I set the customStyle , I get white background with black text  but the connector lines are not displayed. I need the connector lines . What am I missing ? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Uma Shanmugam,

This issue is known and is already fixed. The fix will be available with our next latest internal build this week.

Please notice that if you need to change the labels' background we suggest you to use the approach described in the Styling RadChart for WPF and Silverlight gets easier blog post. In order for that approach to work, you will need to download the latest available release of our controls.
