Hi Stefan,

I have attached a sample project showing that.

I want the legend to show all the series data.

Any help is welcome.

Hello Jorge,

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you resolved your issue and I believe that other community members may benefit from this as well.

Thanks again.

Hey Stefan,

I'm trying to give the user an option to have the Legend on the graph display it's items vertically or dock the legend below the chart with it's items displayed horizontally. Unfortunately when I move the legend items children between a wrappanel and a stackpanel just as in your example I get a nasty 'Child already belongs to a parent' exception.

Is it not at all possible to change the content presenters layout like the original poster talked about? It seems that the default items layout in the legends content presenter is a Stackpanel. What I would like to do is have two templates for displaying these legend items in a Wrappanel and in a Stackpanel. If I can just figure out how to set the legend items display in Xaml I'm sure I can figure out the rest.

I though something like this might work but I think this is just template for each item in the legend and not a template around the items in a legend.

              <ContentPresenter x:Name="ContentPresenter">
                                                        <!--<ContentPresenter.ContentTemplate>
                                                            <DataTemplate>
                                                                <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                                                                    <ContentPresenter Content="{Binding}"
                                                          ContentTemplate="{Binding Series.LegendItemTemplate}" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
                                                                </StackPanel>
                                                            </DataTemplate>
                                                        </ContentPresenter.ContentTemplate>-->
                                                    </ContentPresenter>

I would really appreciate any help I can get.

Hello,

If you could send me an isolated sample project where your issue is reproduced, I would be able to investigate it further for you.

Looking forward for your reply.

Hi Stefan,

I know your sample code works. I have two chart user controls in my project and for the first chart user control using what you have in your sample works with no issue. The other chart I can toggle back and forth between the two but if I change tabs ( I have multiple tabs with multiple charts on them) I get the ' child already belongs to parent' exception. The obvious answer is the issue is somewhere in my code. I've tried everything I can think of and am unable to find it. So what I really meant in my above post was is it possible to set up a template for the items in your legends content presenter in xaml or will the content presenter.context property always default to a stackpanel. The reason I would like to do it this way is it would avoid moving child items between a stackpanel and wrappanel. I believe this would resolve my issue and allow for multiple layouts of legend items in a legend using the content template selector.

Hello,

This feature is not yet implemented, but you can use a workaround. You can inherit the LegendBase class and create your own legend. I attached a sample project showing how to do so.

Hope this helps you.

I need this also, I need to be able to change the item panel from the default stackpanel to something else. Any word on when this will be made available? This is a pretty normal feature.

any response.

is this product idea implemented ? i am running into the same problem , need to wrap items instead of one item per line in vertical orientation.

Hello,

I can say that the Legend is separate element from the XamDataChart. In order to make the Legend render over the chart you have to add it to the Visual Tree after you add the chart and I can suggest you add the Chart and the Legend in a DockManager or Grid, so you can organize them as you want. In the Feature Browser under xamDataChart / Display – Legends / Legend Docking section there is a sample demonstrating how to place the Legend.

Hope this helps you.
