LegendText Property (DataPoint)

Gets or sets the text as string to display for the DataPoint in the legend.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property LegendText As System.String

public System.string LegendText {get; set;}

Remarks

The LegendText property applies to both the Series and DataPoint objects. The LegendText property is treated as a {Value} by default when the data point appears in the legend and the LegendText property is set to an empty string. The {Value} is the original point value of the data point.

To render the x value for the data points in the legend for a one figure chart (i.e., funnel, pyramid, or doughnut), the LegendText property must be set to {Name}.

Example

private void detail_Format(object sender, EventArgs e)
{     
   if(checkBoxSales.Checked)
   {     
      this.chartControl1.Series["Sales"].Points[0].LegendText = ""; 
   } 
   else 
   { 
      this.chartControl1.Series["Sales"].Points[0].LegendText = "Twenty"; 
   }
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub Detail1_Format(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Detail1.Format
   If (CheckBoxSales.Checked) Then
       Me.ChartControl1.Series("Sales").Points(0).LegendText = ""
   Else
       Me.ChartControl1.Series("Sales").Points(0).LegendText = "Twenty"
   End If
End Sub
