The Dash style of the legend items

[Leïla Benakezouh]

Hi,
I wanted to change manually the dash style of the legends items.
I tried the following code:
chartControl.Legend.Items(0).Border.DashStyle = Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dot

But it makes no change.
The legend representation type I use is ChartLegendRepresentationType.StraightLine

If I try to change the symbol displayed on a specific Legend Item, it works perfectly using the code:
chartControl.Legend.Items(0).Symbol.Shape = ChartSymbolShape.Square

How to change the dash style o the legend items?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Leila,

Thanks for using Syncfusion products.

I am afraid, that I was unable to reproduce this issue. We have created a sample to meet your requirement, which shows the legend item dash style correctly.

Please check the code snippet below :

[C#]

chartControl1.Legend.Items[0].Border.DashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Dot;

Kindly provide us the details of the Syncfusion Essential studio version that you are using to render Chart.

Please let me know if any concerns.

Hi,
Thank you for your quick answer.

The code you write works perfectly except if the legend representation type is set to StraightLine
chartControl.Legend.RepresentationType = ChartLegendRepresentationType.StraightLine

In this particular case, the dash style cannot be changed.

I use the version Essential Studio V8.3.0.21

Regards.

Hi Leila,

Thanks for the update.

Internally, we are not using border setting of the legend item for the Cross, Line, StraightLine RepresentationType since it’s a single line. So, we suggest you to use LegendRepresentationType as SeriesType to have dash style for the borders.

Please check the code snippet below :

[C#]

chartControl1.Legend.RepresentationType = ChartLegendRepresentationType.SeriesType;
chartControl1.Legend.Items[0].Border.DashStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.DashDot;


Let me know if any concerns.
