Removing label from individual bars in chart

[Terry]

Hi:

Is there a way to remove the value of the invidividual bars in a bar chart?  I'm showing numbers in the millions and things are looking too busy.  I just want the user to extrapolate to the y-axis to get the total amount.

If I can remove the number, it would be nice if I could show the amount as a tooltip.  Is that possible?

Thanks!

Hi Terry,

You can use the series definition to enable/disable/format elements like labels and tooltips:

RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries[0].Definition.ShowItemLabels = false;
RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries[0].Definition.ShowItemToolTips = true;

By default the tooltip will show the YValue, but  you might want to format it using the different tokens described here.

RadChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries[0].Definition.ItemToolTipFormat = "#X - #Y";
