Set Chart Postion with Code

[Tim Sledge]

Question 1:  I would like to set my ASP.Net Ajax Rad Chart to an absolute position on the page using VB.  Is there a way to do that?

Question 2:  How to I use VB to set the position of the PlotArea within the chart?

Thanks

Hi Tim Sledge,

Onto your questions:

• You can set absolute positioning to the chart control just like to any other WebControl like this:

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        RadChart1.Attributes("style") = "z-index: 100; left: 368px; position: absolute; top: 232px"
    End Sub

• You can customize the position of the PlotArea via customizing its margin value properties

• RadChart1.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Bottom
• RadChart1.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Top
• RadChart1.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Left
• RadChart1.PlotArea.Appearance.Dimensions.Margins.Right

For example specifying TopMargin=0 and BottomMargin=100 would place the PlotArea at the top part of the chart control.
