Hi,

I am trying the 2012 Q2 version for SL5. I'm using the RadCartesianChart and everything works well except styling. I can't seem to figure out how to style the the plotarea. I've tried playing around with PlotAreaStyle and adding styles to it but it keeps throwing a general exception about not being able to set the style of the framework element. I was looking for examples on how to do it in the examples section on the site but there's nothing about it.

Basically, what i want is to change the background of it. I could do that by just putting a grid in the background and play with that, but I also want to know when the size changes etc. I would rather get access to the PlotAreaTemplate/Style and play with that. Is that possible?

Also, where can I get the full template xaml of the chart? 

Thanks,
Eyal

Hi Eyal,

Make sure that you have set a target type:
<telerik:RadCartesianChart>       
 <telerik:RadCartesianChart.PlotAreaStyle>
  <Style TargetType="Border">
   <Setter Property="Background" Value="Gray" />

For the full template of the chart check out your Telerik instalation folder in Program files and look for the Themes folder.
