I am trying to produce a stacked bar chart but without any X axis labels. At the moment I am getting a number for each stacked chart (0, 1 etc) and don't want these to appear. If I set AxisX.MajorGriidLinesVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed this achieves what I want on the X-axis but messes up the Y axis!
I have set AxisY.Minimum =0; and AxisY.Maximum = 4000; and these work fine when AxisX.MajorGridLinesVisibility isn't set to Collapsed. But if I set XAxis.MajorGridLinesVisibility to Collapsed the Y axis scale changes so that it ignores the values I've set and goes from 500 to 4500! I don't see why changing the X axis tick marks should have any effect on the label values I've set for the Y axis?!
The documentation talks about the labels being formatted by the DefaultFormat property and indeed this can be used to eg change the "0" label to "£0.0" but it doesn't tell me how I can just turn off the labels completely.
After some experimentation setting AxisX.Visibility to Visibility.Collapsed almost achieves what I want but I would prefer to just use the MajorGridLinesVisibility setting which produces a slightly tidier main X axis line (ie a line without tick marks and labels cf no line at all)
Is there an easy way to keep the X-axis line, but hide the labels and tick marks without impacting the settings I've made for the Y axis?
Thanks.

Hello Ian,
The easiest way to achieve this is just to clear the TickPoints collection of AxisX after the chart has been populated:
this.RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.TickPoints.Clear();
However, I am a bit puzzled by the effect caused by setting the MajorGridLinesVisibility - this property is not supposed to hide ticks and labels and does not hide them at my end. It should only control the X axis gridlines, which are hidden by default. Can you confirm you have used this very property?
As for the Y axis -- this behavior might be caused by the automatic range and step calculations. Hiding the X axis ticks and labels provides more vertical space, so the calculations for Y axis might end up with different results - hence difference MinValue, MaxValue and Step. If you need to set your own values for these you have to set AxisY.AutoRange property to false.
Hope this helps.
All the best,
