Formatting Problems

[Scott]

I know this is just me, but I find the Chart control the hardest to grasp.  Something that should be VERY easy is costing me hours to figure out.

I have a stacked bar chart that I want to change the formatting of the numbers on the chart.  By default, my numbers are showing 22k, 56.32k etc.  I want to see the full number such as 22,324 or 12,435,901.  How can I do this?  Here is my XAML:

<telerik:RadChart x:Name="ingestionChart" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="4" ItemsSource="{Binding IngestionTotals}" >
                    <telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>
                      <telerik:ChartDefaultView  >
                        <telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend>
                          <telerik:ChartLegend x:Name="ingestionLegend" Header="Ingestion Filters" UseAutoGeneratedItems="True"/>
                        </telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartLegend >
                        <telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle >
                          <telerik:ChartTitle Content="Ingestion Activity" />
                        </telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartTitle>
                        <telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>

                          <telerik:ChartArea LegendName="ingestionLegend"  EnableAnimations="True" SmartLabelsEnabled="True"   >
                          </telerik:ChartArea >
                        </telerik:ChartDefaultView.ChartArea>
                      </telerik:ChartDefaultView>
                    </telerik:RadChart.DefaultView>
                    <telerik:RadChart.SeriesMappings>

                      <telerik:SeriesMapping  LegendLabel="Available">
                        <telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
                          <telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition StackGroupName="group1" >
                            <telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition.LabelSettings >
                              <telerik:BarLabelSettings Distance="10" ShowConnectors="True" LabelDisplayMode="Auto" ShowZeroValueLabels="True" />
                            </telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition.LabelSettings>
                            <telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition.InteractivitySettings>
                              <telerik:InteractivitySettings HoverScope="Item" SelectionScope="Item" SelectionMode="Single" />
                            </telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition.InteractivitySettings>
                          </telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition>
                        </telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
                        <telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>
                          <telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="YValue"  FieldName="Available"   />
                          <telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="XCategory" FieldName="Category" />
                        </telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>
                      </telerik:SeriesMapping>

                      <telerik:SeriesMapping  LegendLabel="Label2">
                        <telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
                          <telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition StackGroupName="group1">
                            <telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition.LabelSettings>
                              <telerik:BarLabelSettings Distance="10" ShowConnectors="True" LabelDisplayMode="Auto" ShowZeroValueLabels="False"/>
                            </telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition.LabelSettings>
                            <telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition.InteractivitySettings>

                            </telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition.InteractivitySettings>
                          </telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition>
                        </telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
                        <telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>
                          <telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="YValue" FieldName="DeNist"  />
                          <telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="XCategory" FieldName="Category" />
                        </telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>
                      </telerik:SeriesMapping>
                 </telerik:RadChart.SeriesMappings>
                  </telerik:RadChart>

Hi Scott,

RadChart supports both the standard and the custom numeric format expressions, which you can use to format the series items labels, axes labels and tooltip texts. RadChart also supports chart specific format mechanism that allows you to insert context-specific data. For example, you can try with the standard numeric format specifier "N":

<telerik:RadChart x:Name="radChart1">
    <telerik:RadChart.SeriesMappings>
        <telerik:SeriesMapping  LegendLabel="Available">
            <telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
              <telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition ItemLabelFormat="#Y{N0}" StackGroupName="group1" >
                ...
              </telerik:StackedBarSeriesDefinition>
            </telerik:SeriesMapping.SeriesDefinition>
            <telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>
              <telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="YValue"  FieldName="Available"   />
              <telerik:ItemMapping DataPointMember="XCategory" FieldName="Category" />
            </telerik:SeriesMapping.ItemMappings>
        </telerik:SeriesMapping>
        ...
    </telerik:RadChart.SeriesMappings>
    ...
</telerik:RadChart>
