 Topic: In Need of Legend HelpPosted: 27 March 2012 at 6:31pm |

So I have a legend at the center bottom of my chart. Is there any way to make it multi-lined when it has these properties?
pContent->GetLegend()->SetVerticalAlignment(xtpChartLegendFarOutside); pContent->GetLegend()->SetHorizontalAlignment(xtpChartLegendCenter);

You can try ChartLegend.ColumnCount

I tried setting that ColumnCount with no luck. It seems to be ignored in my instance. When I did a call to GetColumnCount() it was returning a zero, even though my displayed legend had what I thought was 9 columns all one one row.

Yes, default 0. Appears a bug, however it will not effect performance. 0 and 1 both mean 1 column, 2 = 2 columns, etc. This returned 2: Debug.Print "column: " & ChartControl.Content.Legend.ColumnCount

In my
testing with this, I used SetColumnCount(2), and getting the following results: TopToBottom: LeftToRight: 1st 3rd
2nd 1st 2nd 4th
4th 3rd 5th 5th I would
think that if it worked correctly, I should really be seeing the following
orders: TopToBottom: LeftToRight: 1st 4th
1st 2nd 2nd 5th
3rd 4th 3rd 5th |

I took look and not sure what problem is. I test both and get your expected results. Please post entire chart you use so I can reproduce.
Also ColumnCount can be 0, only in case xtpChartLegendLeftToRight. If xtpChartLegendTopToBottom then it will use 1 when ColumnCount is 0. So default is 0 in all cases, just know it see 0 and test for direction, if xtpChartLegendTopToBottom it use value of 1. In the picture used xtpChartLegendLeftToRight and 2 columns. Added data in this order: NY, CA, FL, TX, OH  |
