Show chartview even if there is no data (empty content)

[Peter]

I am using the RadChartView (RadCartesianChart to be precise). The data I receive is pushed to me from the server, every minute or so. There are times when there will be no data. By default, the RadChartView will show a message like 'no data to plot'. However, I would like to show the X- and Y-axis anyway, and hide the EmptyContent message.

Is this possible?

Unfortunately, I don't think there is an elegant solution. However, I managed to hack it by adding a series with one item and setting its stroke to Transparent:

<telerik:ScatterLineSeries XValueBinding="."
                  YValueBinding="."
                  Stroke="Transparent">
    <telerik:ScatterLineSeries.ItemsSource>
        <x:Array Type="system:Int32">
            <system:Int32>0</system:Int32>
        </x:Array>
    </telerik:ScatterLineSeries.ItemsSource>
</telerik:ScatterLineSeries>

Hi Flemming,

This feature is not yet completed and it is not in our road map for the upcoming release. As a workaround use the approach suggested in this thread by adding a series with one point and setting its stroke to transparent.
