Future plans for ChartLegend?

[David]

Hi,

I've reviewing the new ChartView control (from a background of using the previous Chart control) and I'm wondering what is future plan for displaying chart legends? The existing Chart control had built-in support for legends, however I'm noticed that the ChartView examples manually build legends. Are there future plans for a related control to display a legend or provide some support for legends in the ChartView control (I personally like the idea of keeping legends out of the ChartView control to keep the control as light as possible) or should we as developers expect to build our own legends? I just want to understand Telerik's future plans so I know whether to invest time in building my own legend control or simply build something quick because Telerik will provide support for legends in some form in a future release.

Kind regards,
Dave.

Hello David,

Thank you for your interest.

We are planning to add support for ChartLegend control in some form but it is unlikely that it will be introduced with the Q1 2012 release (most probably it will be available for Q2 2012 release).
