Wrap Text Behavior on x axis of column chart does not work

I am trying to get the x axis labels to wrap on a column chart (part of a composite chart) and the following does not work:

Dim wraptext As New WrapTextAxisLabelLayoutBehavior
wraptext.enabled = true
wraptext.UseOnlyToPreventCollisions = False
.AxisX.Labels.Layout.BehaviorCollection.Add(wraptext)
.AxisX.Labels.Layout.Behavior = AxisLabelLayoutBehaviors.UseCollection

This is the result:

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Dana

Looks like you're using series labels on your chart, so you should be setting the wrap text behavior to the seres labels, instead of item labels:

Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Layout.BehaviorCollection.Add(wraptext)
Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Layout.Behavior = UseCollection

Also, it wouldn't hurt to set EnableRollback to false on the wrap text behavior itself.

Max,

I'm using the following code but my labels are not wrapping. I tried typing what you had into the vb.net area but it didn't accept "wraptext" as an option to add to the collection. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Bill

Did you define wraptext? The first post in this thread does this, so i didn't bother doing so in my reply.

Dim wraptext As New WrapTextAxisLabelLayoutBehavior
wraptext.enabled = true
wraptext.UseOnlyToPreventCollisions = False
UltraChart1.Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Layout.BehaviorCollection.Add(wraptext)
UltraChart1.Axis.X.Labels.SeriesLabels.Layout.Behavior = UseCollection
