Restoring floating legend position

[Olivier VAYSSIE]

Hello,

I need to restore a chart exactly as it was saved. In case the legend has been configured in ChartDock.Floating mode,I have to save and restore its position in the chart. I have no idea how to do that. Can you help me with that ?

Many thanks

Hi Olivier Vayssie,

Thanks for choosing Syncfusion Products.

Currently we do not have a support for save and restore chart control. This has been confirmed as a Feature Request. We will implement this feature in our forthcoming new version releases or service pack releases.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello,

A global save method would not help me. I need a way to get and set the position of the legend in floating mode. I suppose it is not supported today either, but that is what I really need, as I do the saving, loading myself.

Cordially,

Olivier Vayssié

Hi Olivier Vayssie,

Currently, we do not have this support to get and set the position of chart legend. As a work around you can achieve this by using the following lines of code.

C#:

//To gets the chart legend position

Point position = (Point)VisualTreeHelper.GetOffset(chart.Areas[0].Legend);


//To set the chart legend position

Point point = new Point(200, 200);
Chart.SetDock(chart.Areas[0].Legend, ChartDock.Floating);
chart.Areas[0].Legend.Arrange(new Rect(point.X, point.Y, chart.Areas[0].Legend.DesiredSize.Width, chart.Areas[0].Legend.DesiredSize.Height));


Let us know if you have any questions.

Hello,

It is working great. That's exactly what I needed. You should think to add that to the legend properties. It is quite useful.
Anyway, many thanks for that.

Saving and Restoring a end-user designed chart would be a great improvement and MUCH needed functionality for the Chart tool. Is this something that will be available in the next release?

Thanks,
