Spider Label Color

[Cap]

Hi, 

We are trying to set custom colors for Silces in a pie chart as given below .

private static Style CreateItemStyle(Control control, Style baseStyle, DataPoint dataPoint, DataSeries dataSeries)

        {

            if (control is ChartLegendItem)

                return baseStyle;

            if (dataPoint == null)

                return baseStyle;

            Style newStyle = new Style(baseStyle.TargetType);

            newStyle.BasedOn = baseStyle;

            if (control is BaseChartItem2D)

            {

                Brush brush = Utils.CustomDrawChart.Palette[ColorCount];

                newStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.FillProperty, brush));

            }

            ColorCount++;

            return newStyle;

        }

But our spider labels are showing up in a different color( Obviously set by default rendering ) 
Any help on how to solve this?

Thanks 

Rosh

Hi Cap,

You need to add another if condition concerning the labels in your code as follows:

if (control is SeriesItemLabel)
{
   Brush brush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red);
   newStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(SeriesItemLabel.FillProperty, brush));
   newStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(SeriesItemLabel.StrokeProperty, brush));
}

Of course you need to use the same color as the one for the slices:

Brush brush = Utils.CustomDrawChart.Palette[ColorCount];

I have a similar problem where I am using the chart.CreateItemStyleDelegate.  My spider lines and backgrounds are also the wrong colors. 

private Style BuildCustomItemStyle(Control item, Style style, DataPoint point, DataSeries dataSeries)
{
    if ((item as BaseChartItem) == null)
        return style;

    Style newStyle = new Style();
    newStyle.BasedOn = style;

    newStyle.TargetType = typeof(Shape);

    Brush brush;

    switch ((item as BaseChartItem).CurrentIndex % 7)
    {
        case 0:
            brush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 2, 123, 8));
            break;

        case 1:
            brush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 238, 192, 5));
            break;

        case 2:
            brush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 238, 97, 6));
            break;

        case 3:
            brush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 1, 240, 6));
            break;

        case 4:
            brush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 238, 240, 6));
            break;

        case 5:
            brush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 179, 181, 183));
            break;

        default://case 6:
            brush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 237, 240, 242));
            break;
    }

    newStyle.Setters.Add(new Setter(Shape.FillProperty, brush));
    return newStyle;
}
