Hello again, and thank you for your help yesterday with changing Legend size.

Today I am working with a Cartesian chart, and attempting to change the color and width of the major gridlines. I am attempting to follow the documentation (http://helpdotnetvision.nevron.com/UsersGuide_Axes_Scale_ScaleConfigurators_Major_and_Minor_Gridlines.html), but am not having any luck. Here is my code:

Dim yAxis As NAxis = chart7.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY)
Dim scaleConfiguratorY As NStandardScaleConfigurator = yAxis.ScaleConfigurator
scaleConfiguratorY.MajorTickMode = MajorTickMode.AutoMaxCount
scaleConfiguratorY.AutoLabels = False
scaleConfiguratorY.MajorGridStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Back, True)
scaleConfiguratorY.MajorGridStyle.LineStyle.Color = Color.Red
scaleConfiguratorY.MajorGridStyle.LineStyle.Width = New NLength(5)

However, the color and width of the major gridlines do not change, no matter the values that I use. Note, these gridlines do not fall inside a scale section. Would you happen to have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,

The code works correctly - most likely you override the scale configurator later in the code. Placing your code in an empty form load works OK:

Imports Nevron.GraphicsCore
Imports Nevron.Chart

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim chart As NChart = NChartControl1.Charts(0)

        Dim yAxis As NAxis = chart.Axis(StandardAxis.PrimaryY)
        Dim scaleConfiguratorY As NStandardScaleConfigurator = yAxis.ScaleConfigurator
        scaleConfiguratorY.MajorTickMode = MajorTickMode.AutoMaxCount
        scaleConfiguratorY.AutoLabels = False
        scaleConfiguratorY.MajorGridStyle.SetShowAtWall(ChartWallType.Back, True)
        scaleConfiguratorY.MajorGridStyle.LineStyle.Color = Color.Red
        scaleConfiguratorY.MajorGridStyle.LineStyle.Width = New NLength(5)

        Dim bar As New NBarSeries
        bar.Values.Add(10)
        bar.Values.Add(20)
        chart.Series.Add(bar)
    End Sub
End Class

Please check whether you have code like:
yAxis=someScaleConfigurator

later in the code. Also is the axis itself visible?

Thanks again for your help. You are indeed correct, I found code that was applying NStyleSheet code after the fact (debugging someone else's uncommented code is always such fun!).

Best regards,
Ben
