PART_AxisLabels - I wish to restrict the displayed length

[Daren May]

What is the best approach to take to limit the length of the PART_AxisLabels? Ideally, I would like to attach a behavior to the TextBlock used to render the labels as I wish to add "..." to the end of the truncated strings and display a ToolTip on mouse over.

Thanks.

Hello Daren May,

You can use the AxisStyles.ItemLabelStyle property exposed by the axis object to set your custom style to the axis labels. Here is an example:

            <Style  x:Name="labelstyle" TargetType="TextBlock">
                <Setter Property="TextAlignment" Value="Center" />
                <Setter Property="Width" Value="10"/>
            </Style>

RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisY.AxisStyles.ItemLabelStyle = this.labelstyle;

Hope this will help.

Hi,

I wanted to do the same thing for long axis labels and your solution worked perfectly. (Thanks)

But now I want to display the full label text in the tooltip of the axis label, how can this be done?

Thanks again Phil.

Hi Philip Ashworth,

Unfortunately, this can not be achieved at present. The development team will consider the possible ways to implement this functionality with a future version of the control.
