Setting colours of 3d pie chart items in code-behind

I have just started working with Telerik controls having moved from Infragistics controls.

I have created a 3D pie chart in code-behind whose data is gathered from a database.

The legend items for the chart are also gathered from the database (both the title of each item and its colour is stored in the database as these colours are customisable by the user for each category).

I have managed to set the legend item colours correctly but now I need to set the colours of each 'slice' of the pie chart to match the legend.

I have followed the example on setting custom item styles at http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radchart-styling-and-appearance-custom-item-style.html but when I set a breakpoint on the BuildCustomItemStyles method it is only ever trying to style the legend items.

Here is my cod behind (including the BuildCustomItemStyles code).

/// <summary>

/// Interaction logic for AbsenceByReasonChart.xaml

/// </summary>

public partial class AbsenceByReasonChart : UserControl, IWpfChart

{

private List<OptionPropertiesData> optionPropertiesSet;

/// <summary>

/// Default constructor.

/// </summary>

public AbsenceByReasonChart()

{

InitializeComponent();

radChart1.

Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(AbsenceByReasonChart_Loaded);

}

private void AbsenceByReasonChart_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

WpfZoomUtils.ZoomChartArea(radChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea, Constants.WpfChartZoomFactor);

}

private Style BuildCustomItemStyle(Control item, Style style, DataPoint point, DataSeries dataSeries)

{

if ((item as BaseChartItem3D<Pie3D>) == null) return style;

Style newStyle = new Style();

newStyle.BasedOn = style;

newStyle.TargetType = typeof(Shape);

// this code gets the brush colour

Brush brush = new SolidColorBrush(getOptionColour(...));

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

return newStyle;

}

public void SetChartTitle(DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate)

{

if (startDate == DateTime.MinValue || startDate == null) return;

radChart1.DefaultView.ChartTitle.Content = string.Format("Absence by Reason {0} to {1}", startDate.ToShortDateString(), endDate.ToShortDateString());

radChart1.DefaultView.ChartTitle.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

}

public void PopulateChart(DataTable data, DateTime startDate, DateTime endDate, List<OptionPropertiesData> optionPropertiesList)

{

if (data == null || data.Rows.Count == 0 || optionPropertiesList == null || optionPropertiesList.Count == 0) return;

optionPropertiesSet = optionPropertiesList;

if (radChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries != null && radChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries.Count > 0)

{

// remove existing data series

radChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries.Clear();

}

// define series data type

DataSeries series = new DataSeries()

{

Definition = new Pie3DSeriesDefinition(),

LegendLabel = "Attendance Type"

};

// turn on item tooltips and set the item format of the tooltip for each series item

ISeries3DDefinition chartDefintion = series.Definition as Pie3DSeriesDefinition;

if (chartDefintion != null)

{

chartDefintion.ShowItemToolTips = true;

chartDefintion.ItemToolTipFormat = "#LEGENDLABEL: #Y Employees";

chartDefintion.ItemLabelFormat = "#%{p0}";

}

// for the absence by reason chart, the legend colours must match the colours defined for each atendance type

// in the attendance maintenance section

// first, turn OFF the automatic generation of the legend for the chart

radChart1.DefaultView.ChartLegend.UseAutoGeneratedItems = false;

// whilst the chart is being populated, set the legend item appropriately

foreach (DataRow r in data.Rows)

{

if (r == null || r.ItemArray == null || r.ItemArray.Length == 0) continue;

// the item array of each data row has the following information:

// first item is the absence reason

// second item is the number of employees off due to this reason

// third item is the id of the data option for the absence reason

if (r.ItemArray[1] is int && r.ItemArray[0] is string && r.ItemArray[2] is long)

{

// ignore categories that have no value or rows where the absence reason data option id cannot be found

if (Convert.ToInt32(r.ItemArray[1]) <= 0 || Convert.ToInt64(r.ItemArray[2]) <= 0) continue;

// set the data for this category

series.Add(new DataPoint

{

XValue = Convert.ToInt64(r.ItemArray[2]),

YValue = Convert.ToInt32(r.ItemArray[1]),

});

// now define its legend item

ChartLegendItem legendItem = new ChartLegendItem()

{

Background = new SolidColorBrush(getOptionColour(Convert.ToInt64(r.ItemArray[2]), optionPropertiesList)),

Label = Convert.ToString(r.ItemArray[0])

};

radChart1.DefaultView.ChartLegend.Items.Add(legendItem);

}

SetChartTitle(startDate, endDate);

// finally, assign the chart the defined data series

radChart1.DefaultView.ChartArea.DataSeries.Add(series);

}

private System.Windows.Media.Color getOptionColour(long optionID, List<OptionPropertiesData> optionPropertiesList)

{

// find the option properties object for the option with the passed in option id

// and return its associated colour

OptionPropertiesData optionProperty = optionPropertiesList.Find(delegate(OptionPropertiesData opData) { return opData.getDataOptionID() == optionID; });

if (optionProperty != null)

{

System.Drawing.Color winFormColour = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(optionProperty.getPlannerColour());

if (winFormColour != null)

{

Hiding a line series

I am trying to show/hide series in a line chart. I am trying to use the Visibility property of the class LineSeriesDefinition . However it is not working and the concerned series remains visible. Please help.

The code is as follows:

SeriesMapping Mapping = new SeriesMapping();

Mapping .CollectionIndex = 0;

LineSeriesDefinition lineDefinition = new LineSeriesDefinition();

lineDefinition.Visibility =

SeriesVisibility.Collapsed; // I tried with 'Hidden' as well

lineDefinition.ShowItemLabels =

false;

lineDefinition.ShowPointMarks =

false;

lineDefinition.Appearance.Stroke =

Brushes.LightSalmon;

lineDefinition.Appearance.StrokeThickness = 1.0;

Mapping .SeriesDefinition = lineDefinition;

Mapping .ItemMappings.Add(

new ItemMapping("X Label", DataPointMember.XValue));

ItemMapping yItemMapping = new ItemMapping("Y Label", DataPointMember.YValue);

yItemMapping.SamplingFunction =

ChartSamplingFunction.Average;

Mapping.ItemMappings.Add(yItemMapping);

LineChart.SeriesMappings.Add(Mapping );

[Solved] How to undo changes after RowEditEnded?

I am handling the RowEditEnded event of my RadGridView to save the changes to the database through a service. But if I get an error from the middle tier, I want to roll back those changes to the row.

At the time RowEditEnded is raised, it is too late to call CancelEdit(), so I thought that using the OldValues property of GridViewRowEditEndedEventArgs would be the best way to go, and apply them to each cell in the row. The problem is that OldValues is a dictionary and GridViewCellBase can only be indexed by position. I could find each cell binding and find the item in OldValues that matches it, but it seems to me that there should be a better way.

Is there an easy way to do this?
