Custom ItemStyle and Interactivity

[AP]

I've added a custom itemstyle for a RadCharts BarSeriesDefinition to enable conditional formatting via databinding.

i.e. 

<Style x:Key="CustomStyle" TargetType="telerik:Bar">
           <Setter Property="Template">
               <Setter.Value>
                   <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:Bar">
                       <Canvas>
                           <Rectangle x:Name="PART_DefiningGeometry"
                                  Height="{TemplateBinding ItemActualHeight}"
                                  Width="{TemplateBinding ItemActualWidth}"
                                  RadiusX="0"
                                  RadiusY="0"
                                  StrokeThickness="1"
                                  Fill="{Binding DataItem.BarColour}"
                                   />
                           <Canvas.RenderTransform>
                               <ScaleTransform x:Name="PART_AnimationTransform" ScaleY="0" />
                           </Canvas.RenderTransform>
                       </Canvas>
                   </ControlTemplate>
               </Setter.Value>
           </Setter>
       </Style>

<telerik:BarSeriesDefinition ShowItemToolTips="True" LegendDisplayMode="SeriesLabel" ItemStyle="{StaticResource CustomStyle}" SeriesItemLabelStyle="{StaticResource CustomLabelStyle}"  >

However, even though the interactivity settings are on, the non-selected bars no longer change colour when a bar is hovered over by the mouse.

<telerik:BarSeriesDefinition.InteractivitySettings>
                                            <telerik:InteractivitySettings HoverScope="Item" SelectionScope="Item" SelectionMode="Single"/>
                                        </telerik:BarSeriesDefinition.InteractivitySettings>

Is there something else that needs adding to the style to support this?

Thanks

Hello Andrew Penny,

Yes, you need to modify the custom style as follows (I see that you do not need the masks over the bars):

<Style x:Key="CustomStyle" TargetType="telerik:Bar">
    <Setter Property="Template">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:Bar">
                <Canvas x:Name="PART_MainContainer">
                    <Rectangle x:Name="PART_DefiningGeometry"
                            Height="{TemplateBinding ItemActualHeight}"
                            Width="{TemplateBinding ItemActualWidth}"
                            RadiusX="0"
                            RadiusY="0"
                            StrokeThickness="1"
                            Fill="{Binding DataItem.BarColour}"  />
                    <Rectangle x:Name="PART_SelectedState"
                            Height="{TemplateBinding ItemActualHeight}"
                            Width="{TemplateBinding ItemActualWidth}" />
                    <Canvas.RenderTransform>
                        <ScaleTransform x:Name="PART_AnimationTransform" ScaleY="0" />
                    </Canvas.RenderTransform>
                    <VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups>
                        <VisualStateGroup x:Name="HoverStates">
                            <VisualState x:Name="Normal">

            </ControlTemplate>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>

The xaml marked in red is not needed and you can remove it. You need to add the "PART_MainContainer" name, one rectangle over the main one and the VisualStateGroups.

Please try this approach and tell us if you need something else.

Thanks, this works.

Just a small issue - the code below flagged as an error

<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>
     <System:Double>2</System:Double>
 </DiscreteObjectKeyFrame.Value>

What namespace definition did you use for System?

[Sia]

Hi Andrew Penny,

Just add this namespace definition:
xmlns:System="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"

There are differences in parsing between WPF and Silverlight and that is the reason we used the syntax below. If you develop Silverlight application you can set it as follows:

<DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime="0.00:00:00.0" Value="2" />

That's great.

Thanks for your help.
