How to set properties ?

[Prival]

1. From strategy to set a property of the graph (Right side margin = 100) ?
2. How to prevent a user from this property to change ?
3. As better in this blank area to display text information, it will be a lot ?

Hello Prival,

Thanks for your post.

You can use: ChartControl.BarMarginRight to adjust dynamically the right side margin. Example:

ChartControl.BarMarginRight = 100;

You would not be able to prevent the user from changing the properties of the chart window (Right mouse click on chart and select "properties") however if you put the statement "ChartControl.BarMarginRight = 100;" in OnBarUpdate, it will reset to your specifics on each update.

Using 100 is not a significant amount of screen area.

Better to put the statement in OnStartUp(). And yes, that becomes an override to whatever the user selects. You will also need a null-reference check for the ChartControl.
