Windows Forms Wrap Legend Items

[Saulo]

Hey, how can I wrap ChartLegendItems so they stay in multiple lines? I've tried changing ItemSize, Orientation and ItemsTextAlignment properties but none of them seem to do what I want.

Hi Saulo, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

 

We have analyzed your requirement and you can achieve this by using RowsCount property in legend as per the below code snippet.  

 

[C#] 

 

            //Place legend outside the chart area 

            this.chartControl1.LegendsPlacement = ChartPlacement.Outside; 

 

            //Place legend at the top of chart area 

            this.chartControl1.Legend.Position = ChartDock.Top; 

 

            //Center align the legend items 

            this.chartControl1.Legend.Alignment = ChartAlignment.Center; 

 

            //Number of rows required for legend 

            int numberOfLegendsInRow = 4; 

 

            //Set required number of rows using RowsCount property             

            this.chartControl1.Legend.RowsCount = (int)Math.Floor((double)this.chartControl1.Legend.Items.Length / numberOfLegendsInRow); 

 

 

We have prepared a sample based on this, please find the sample from the following location.

Note: When legend is positioned at right or left side of the chart area, legend items will be displayed in multiple lines by default.

Hope this helps.
