Telerik Reporting Enhancement - Color Palette

[Eric]

Enhancement suggestion on Telerik Reporting:
    Add "Color Palette" to list of components available on your "Telerik Reporting" components. Then developers could create their custom color palette and then in the graph control among others, allow selecting from the Color Palettes components on the report.
    Currently I have to go into the generated code section of the designer.cs and set my custom color palette for more colors (more than the examples that you provide) with
           

colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(0)))), ((int)(((byte)(255)))), ((int)(((byte)(0))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(92)))), ((int)(((byte)(25)))), ((int)(((byte)(18))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(194)))), ((int)(((byte)(46)))), ((int)(((byte)(10))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Red);<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(177)))), ((int)(((byte)(90)))), ((int)(((byte)(40))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(202)))), ((int)(((byte)(137)))), ((int)(((byte)(104))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(211)))), ((int)(((byte)(191)))), ((int)(((byte)(105))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(137)))), ((int)(((byte)(203)))), ((int)(((byte)(42))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(33)))), ((int)(((byte)(180)))), ((int)(((byte)(114))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(21)))), ((int)(((byte)(198)))), ((int)(((byte)(198))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(0)))), ((int)(((byte)(105)))), ((int)(((byte)(104))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(240)))), ((int)(((byte)(248)))), ((int)(((byte)(255))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(138)))), ((int)(((byte)(43)))), ((int)(((byte)(226))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Magenta);<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(128)))), ((int)(((byte)(255)))), ((int)(((byte)(255))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Olive);<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.PeachPuff);<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.Blue);<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(192)))), ((int)(((byte)(192)))), ((int)(((byte)(255))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(255)))), ((int)(((byte)(128)))), ((int)(((byte)(0))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(255)))), ((int)(((byte)(255)))), ((int)(((byte)(128))))));<br>            colorPalette8.Colors.Add(System.Drawing.Color.White);

and set the ColorPalette of the graph with the ColorPalette.  I have to do this for each graph control I might have.

Hello Eric,

Thank you for the feedback, we will have that in mind.
The only suggestions that we can currently give you is to either select all the graphs and set their palettes at once (since the property is mergeable) or create the palette programmatically and  reuse it.

Hi Ramesh,

You can set the ColorPalette option from the Standalone designer:

Another option is to Set Graph ColorPalette with User Function.
