Standard Legend Problem

[Fabrice]

I have an Question, about standard Legend for RadChart.

How can I change it (Color: Blue from Anzahl Gesamt: 438) that’s the Column from my DataTable. I want to have my custom legend but I can’t remove the standard Legend Item

 

Can you help me ?

Hi Fabrice,

You can use RadChart's BeforeLayout event to clear the auto-generated legend items and add custom ones. Here's an example:

this.RadChart1.BeforeLayout += RadChart1_BeforeLayout;


void RadChart1_BeforeLayout(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.RadChart1.Legend.Clear();
    this.RadChart1.Legend.AddCustomItemToLegend("Custom legend item 1",
        new Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillStyle(Color.Red, Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid), "Ellipse");
    this.RadChart1.Legend.AddCustomItemToLegend("Custom legend item 2",
        new Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillStyle(Color.Blue, Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid), "Ellipse");
    this.RadChart1.Legend.AddCustomItemToLegend("Custom legend item 3",
        new Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillStyle(Color.Green, Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid), "Ellipse");
    this.RadChart1.Legend.AddCustomItemToLegend("Custom legend item 4",
       new Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillStyle(Color.Orange, Telerik.Charting.Styles.FillType.Solid), "Ellipse");
}
