Dynamically size Chart

[Ryan farquhar]

I have the Radchart placed inside a DockWindow. What I would like to do is have the chart auto-size to the size of the DockWindow, so when someone maximizes the application the chart gets resized with the DockWindow.

So I either need a function I can call that automatically sizes it or some way of getting the size of the DockWindow that it is inside.

Any help would be appreciated.

Nevermind, got it. To dynamically resize the chart to the same size as the dockpanel, you just add the following to the dockingmanger resize function:

RadChart1.Height = DockPanel2.Height
RadChart1.Width = DockPanel2.Width

This works great. I also added that code to the Load Sub so it would size correctly when the app starts.

Hi Alicia,

I'm glad that you found your way though the problem.

Another solution I may suggest is using the code you already wrote in the Load method to resize the chart, and then anchoring it. This way the framework will resize the chart for you when needed and you won't need the code in the Resize method.

The code for the Load method is something like:
 

radChart1.Size = DockPanel2.Size;
radChart1.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom | AnchorStyles.Right;
