Hi,

What you see is not what you get...

I'm working with RadChart and have done some style changes (Colors of Bars in Barchart,...).

These changes appear in the Visual Studio view, but when I start the Project, the RadChart has the style of the skin "Default".

Form where does the RadGrid take the style when i do not apply a skin?
How do I set the skin to none?

Regards,
Pitsch

Hello Pitsch,

This is a known issue that is already fixed and will be ok for the SP1 release. As a temporary work-around please set the SeriesPalette="" property. Also make sure you have not specified a skin for the control. This should allow you to apply custom coloring on your series again.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

All the best,

And i don't know how to get back my nice Diamonds in the graph:
<radC:ChartSeries Name="Series 2" PointMark="Diamond" PointSize="10" ShowLabels="False" Type="Line">

How is this be done in the new Chart,
I did not find any properties in the wizard.

Hi Pitsch,

Please, find below an example of a line series with diamond point marks:

You can find a detailed document describing API changes in this forum thread.

I hope this helps.

Hi Ves,

Yes, that works, thank you.

Next question how do i set the figure in C# code?
i did not find the enumeration type.

In the RadChart ASP.NET (RadChart.NET2.dll), I had some thing like:

ChartSeries series;
...
SetSeriesStyle(series, ChartPointMark.Diamond, 10, Color.Gray, Color.Gray);
...
private void SetSeriesStyle(
ChartSeries cs,
ChartPointMark pointMark,
int pointSize,
Color pointColor,
Color mainColor)
{
if(pointMark != null) { cs.PointMark = pointMark; }
if(pointSize != null) { cs.PointSize = pointSize;}
if(pointColor != null) { cs.PointColor = pointColor;}
if(mainColor != null) { cs.MainColor = mainColor;}
}

I'm working with RadChart Prometheus (2007.2.1010.0)
and Telerik.Charting.dll (1.6.1.0) now and
the code above does not work any more, because ChartPointMark type
is not available.

Where do I find this enumeration type?
I did not find anything in the Telerik.Charting.dll assembly (I opened it with the object explorer and did not find an appropriate enumeration type)
Is there an assembly missing?
Or is there a type missing in the assembly? (I found the type Telerik.Charting.ChartPointMark in the RadChart.Net2.dll)

Regards,
Peter

Hello Pitsch,

Please use the following class in code behind: Telerik.Charting.Styles.DefaultFigures

Let me know if this helps.

Sincerely yours,

Hi Vladimir,

thanks for the tip. In the code I can use this type.
With your aspx code, I can also see a Diamond in the lower left side of Visualstudio Design view of the RadChart control.

In the running application i have still the unwanted default view.
this means: my programmatically defined series do not get the
pointmarks I set them.

Any tips?

Regards,
Peter

Hi Pitsch,

Have you tried setting those shapes later on in the page lifecycle? Can you post some code? We have no such troubles when trying to reproduce the behavior. Generally, you should set all appearance related properties after applying skins.

Hi,

I could solve the problems completely.

One of the main points was that
Pointmark.Visible = false
by default, so the pointmarks were not visible.
In the earlier version i used (RadChart ASP.NET), the visiblity was set to true so I did not have to set it programmatically.

If this is not documented in your migration guides, please mention it, a lot of migrators will thank you.

Thank you  and kind regards,
Peter

Hi Pitsch,

Thank you for clearing this up. I will definitely see it that this gets into the documentation.
