Hello,

I am having difficulty changing the size of the legend on my pie chart, and I'm wondering if someone could be of assistance. I am attempting to modify the size of the legend using the legend.Size property, but no matter the value I use, the size does not change. This is the code I am using:

Dim legend1 As NLegend = nChartControl1.Legends(0)
legend1.Data.ExpandMode = LegendExpandMode.ColsOnly
legend1.ContentAlignment = ContentAlignment.BottomRight
legend1.FillStyle = myLegendFontColor
legend1.Location = NPointL(New NLength(0, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage), New NLength(90, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage))
legend1.Size = NSizeL(New NLength(50, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage), New NLength(50, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage))


I consulted the online documentation, specifically the following link, but could not find any documentation on the legend.Size property:

Thanks very much,
Ben

Hi Ben,

You have to set the UseAutomaticSize to false - for example the following code displays the legend at the control center and stretches it to 40% and 20% from  the control width/height respectively:

Dim legend1 As NLegend = NChartControl1.Legends(0)
legend1.Visible = True
legend1.Data.ExpandMode = LegendExpandMode.ColsOnly
legend1.ContentAlignment = ContentAlignment.BottomRight
legend1.BoundsMode = BoundsMode.Stretch
legend1.FillStyle = New NColorFillStyle(Color.Red)
legend1.Location = New NPointL(New NLength(50, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage), New NLength(50, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage))
legend1.Size = New NSizeL(New NLength(40, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage), New NLength(20, NRelativeUnit.ParentPercentage))
legend1.UseAutomaticSize = False

Hope this helps - let us know if you meet any problems.
