Getting default candle outline brush

[deltaZ]

I'm almost certain that I used to be able to store the default candle outline brush that's set from the Data Series window like this using CandleOutlineBrush when the indi first loads:

if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
outlineColorDefault = (SolidColorBrush)CandleOutlineBrush;
}

Now CandleOutlineBrush and CandleOutlineBrushes return null until set.

How do I access the candle outline color set from the Data Series window?

Thanks!

Hello deltaZ,

Trying using the ChartControl.ChartStyle.Pen.

Looks like there is no longer a ChartControl.ChartStyle.

Hello deltaZ,

Thanks for your reply.

Have you tried ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.Stroke? While this is undocumented, this was working for me a couple months back.

Please let us know if this helps resolve your inquiry.

Thanks for your suggestion.

ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.Stroke.Brush is a System.Windows.Media.LinearGradientBrush and I'm unable to cast it to System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush.

Can you provide an example of how this would work please?

Hello deltaZ,

If you are assigning a LinearGriadientBrush for the ChartStyle's Stroke in the Data Series window, you should expect to run into a LinearGradientBrush in code. Since this cannot be converted directly to a SloidColorBrush, you would have to use the Colors of the LinearGradientBrush's GradientStops to create a new SolidColorBrush.

Please consider the following as a rough example.

if(ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.Stroke.Brush is LinearGradientBrush)
{
	LinearGradientBrush myBrush = ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.Stroke.Brush as LinearGradientBrush;
	BarBrush = new SolidColorBrush(myBrush.GradientStops[0].Color);
}

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
