Hello Ahmad,

Thank you for your interest in our RadControls for Windows 8.

If I understand you correctly you want to create dynamically a RadLegendControl which is bound to an existing RadCartesianChart. Here's a sample setup of this scenario:

RadLegendControl legend = new RadLegendControl();
legend.SetBinding(RadLegendControl.LegendProviderProperty, new Binding { ElementName = "chart" });
this.grid.Children.Add(legend);

Where "chart" is the name of your RadCartesianChart and "grid" is the name of its container which in our case is Grid.
Then I assume that you want to change the Category of an existing DataPoint dynamically. You can achieve it like this:

(this.chart.Series[0] as CategoricalSeries).DataPoints[0].Category = "NewCategory";

About the other question - can you please clarify what exactly do you mean by "RadCartesianChart Title"?
If it is a LegendTitle:

this.chart.Series[0].LegendTitle = "NewLegendTitle";

If it is Axis Title:

this.chart.HorizontalAxis.Title = "NewAxisTitle";

Let me know if this helps.

I too am looking for a way to set the chart title, but not for an axis or legend, rather a title at the top of the chart, as shown in this Silverlight example for RadChart: http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radchart-features-chart-title.html

Is this available in WPF RadCartesianChart? It seems like a very basic piece of functionality but I'm unable to find how to set it. 

Thanks, 

Andy.

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for your interest.

RadCartesianChart (and RadChartView in general) does not provide support for chart title out-of-the-box. However, as the chart title is basically a simple textblock and its positioning does not depend on the different parts of the control you should be able to manually add one external TextBlock to serve this purpose easily.

I hope this information is useful.

 

All the best,
