Text Appearance Syntax

[Derek Tapp]

Hi,

This seems like it should be straightforward, but I can't find the details....

Is there a good resource for the various properties you can use for the TextAppearance property within the HTML tags in RadChart?

e.g.

For a series you can set:

 <Appearance TextAppearance-TextProperties-Color="255,255,255" TextAppearance-TextProperties-Font="Verdana, 12pt">

But what I can't do is find the syntax to make the font bold:

e.g.

 <Appearance TextAppearance-TextProperties-Color="255,255,255" TextAppearance-TextProperties-Font="Verdana, 12pt, Bold">

Doesn't work.

I can achieve this programatically by using:

RadChart1.Series.Item(x).Appearance.TextAppearance.TextProperties.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Verdana", 12, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold)

But what's the syntax to do this directly in the tag? For now it's just the syntax for bold/font weight I'm after, but if there's a good article on the various options for this that would be great.

Thanks

Hello Derek,

Thanks for the note. Indeed, we need to improve our documentation.

Onto your question -- you can set it like this:

TextAppearance-TextProperties-Font="Verdana, 12pt, style=Bold"

A hint is to set it design-time and check the generated markup. Hope this helps.

Best wishes,
