Changing the background color of PriceMarker dynamically causes the UI to freeze

Changing the background color of PriceMarker dynamically causes the UI to freeze.

ChartBars.Properties.PriceMarker.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromScRgb(1f, 1f - pmg, pmg, 0f));

The code above causes the UI to freeze. Is this a fixable bug?

Hello bkinvent,

Thank you for the post.

In this case, you are creating a new brush so you would also want to freeze the brush. This would also prevent the freeze of the UI you are experiencing.

Brush b = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromScRgb(1f, 1f , 1f, 0f));
b.Freeze();
ChartBars.Properties.PriceMarker.Background = b;

If you have a set of a few colors you will reuse, i would suggest creating class level variables for your brushes and setting them up earlier in the script. That will simplify the uses later in your code.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
