RadChart Axis label styles

[jason]

I am stuck on what seems like very stupid thing for me to not be able to figure out.  How do I change the style of an axis label?  Currently it is showing up as a big gray box with bold black text.  I have tried following the help section and applying a style like this:

<Style x:Key="xStyle" TargetType="TextBlock">
          <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Maroon" />
          <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="12"/>
          <Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="Verdana" />
      </Style>

And setting it in the code behind:

this.theChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.AxisStyles.ItemLabelStyle = this.Resources["xStyle"] as Style;

I have also tried setting this:  AxisForeground="Red"

None of this working and I am at my wits end with this.  I have tried looking at all of the demo code but nowhere in the demos do I see any style being set for these labels but they don't look anything like what I am getting.

thanks in advance

Hi Jason,

Do you mean the axis title or the axis labels? And can you please tell us which theme you use, because the default look of the axis labels is without background. I have tested your style and it works as expected on my end. Any kind of additional information will be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

I'm generate and apply style via code behind but nothing happen

Dim tAxisXLabelStyle As New Style(GetType(TextBlock))
     tAxisXLabelStyle.Setters.Add(New Setter(FontSizeProperty, pAxisYLabel.FontHeightLabel))
     tAxisXLabelStyle.Setters.Add(New Setter(ForegroundProperty, pAxisYLabel.FontColorLabel))
     tAxisXLabelStyle.Setters.Add(New Setter(FontFamilyProperty, pAxisYLabel.FontFamilyLabel))
           _Chart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.AxisStyles.ItemLabelStyle = tAxisXLabelStyle

I'm using the summer theme via 

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = New SummerTheme

Could anyone help me ?

Hello Courouble Damien,

Please try with the following code:

Dim tAxisXLabelStyleAs New Style(GetType(TextBlock))
tAxisXLabelStyle.Setters.Add(New Setter(TextBlock.ForegroundProperty, "Red"))
tAxisXLabelStyle.Setters.Add(New Setter(TextBlock.FontStyleProperty, FontStyles.Italic))
_Chart.DefaultView.ChartArea.AxisX.AxisStyles.ItemLabelStyle = tAxisXLabelStyle

Hello Courouble Damien,

Please send us a sample project which we will be able to modify and check what causes your problem.
Also you can try to update your telerik binaries with a newer version and let us know if you still experience this problem.

Sorry for the late response.  I was referring to the axis labels.  I am not applying any theme to the chart.  I have attached a screen shot of my results using the latest binaries.  What I would like is for it to not look like a button.

Hi Jason,

Please put the following Style in your UserControl.Resources:

<Style TargetType="telerikCharting:Label3D">
      <Setter Property="Background" Value="Transparent" />
      <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Transparent" />
      <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
      <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black" />
      <Setter Property="Padding" Value="4,0,4,0" />
</Style>

where:

xmlns:telerikCharting="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Charting"

and modify it to correspond with your needs. It will be applied to all labels in your 3D RadChart. I hope this helps.

All the best,
