[Solved] LineSeries dotted line and Theme

[Nicolas Wagener]

Hello,
i was using this thread for my dotted lines on my RadChart :
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/chart/dashed-dotted-line.aspx

and it's seems that a dotted line isn't working with another theme than the default.

I wanted to use the dotted line with the Windows 7 theme but the Office_BlackTheme is the only one that works.

RadChart rc = new RadChart();
        ChartArea ca = new ChartArea();
        DataSeries ds = new DataSeries();
        DataSeries ds2 = new DataSeries();

        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            Style pathStyle1 = new Style(typeof(Path));
            pathStyle1.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeDashArrayProperty, "1"));
            pathStyle1.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cyan)));
            pathStyle1.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeThicknessProperty, 3));

            Style lineStyle1 = new Style(typeof(Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.LineSeries));
            lineStyle1.Setters.Add(new Setter(LineSeries.BorderLineStyleProperty, pathStyle1));

            Style pathStyle2 = new Style(typeof(Path));
            pathStyle2.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeDashArrayProperty, "1"));
            pathStyle2.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeProperty, new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Orange)));
            pathStyle2.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.StrokeThicknessProperty, 3));

            Style lineStyle2 = new Style(typeof(Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting.LineSeries));
            lineStyle2.Setters.Add(new Setter(LineSeries.BorderLineStyleProperty, pathStyle2));

            rc.DefaultView.ChartLegend.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;

            ds.Definition = new LineSeriesDefinition() { SeriesStyle = lineStyle1, ShowItemLabels = false, ShowPointMarks = false };
            ds2.Definition = new LineSeriesDefinition() { SeriesStyle = lineStyle2, ShowItemLabels = false, ShowPointMarks = false };

            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                ds.Add(new DataPoint() { YValue = i * i * 2, XValue = i });
                if(i==2 || i == 4 || i == 6)
                    ds2.Add(new DataPoint() { YValue = (i+100) * i * 2, XValue = i });
            }

            ca.DataSeries.Add(ds);
            ca.DataSeries.Add(ds2);

            rc.DefaultView.ChartArea = ca;

            LayoutRoot.Children.Add(rc);

            //Telerik.Windows.Controls.StyleManager.SetTheme(rc, new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Windows7Theme());
            //Telerik.Windows.Controls.StyleManager.SetTheme(rc, new Telerik.Windows.Controls.VistaTheme());
            //Telerik.Windows.Controls.StyleManager.SetTheme(rc, new Telerik.Windows.Controls.SummerTheme());
            Telerik.Windows.Controls.StyleManager.SetTheme(rc, new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Office_BlackTheme());
            //Telerik.Windows.Controls.StyleManager.SetTheme(rc, new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Office_BlueTheme());
            //Telerik.Windows.Controls.StyleManager.SetTheme(rc, new Telerik.Windows.Controls.Office_SilverTheme());
        }

Am I wrong somewhere or is it a bug that you don't know ?

Hi Nicolas Wagener,

Unfortunately I confirm that there is a problem with the dashed style when a different theme from the default one is set. Your telerik points are updated. Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention. Our developers will investigate it in detail.

You can check the status of this issue in our Public Issues Tracking system.

All the best,
