How to use Font (Chart -> Properties -> General -> Font) in SharpDX

[Goldy]

I would like to use the Font (Chart -> Properties -> General -> Font) in SharpDX.



At the moment I use the following code:
SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush textDXBrush = new SolidColorBrush((Color) ColorConverter.ConvertFromString((ChartControl.Pro perties.ChartText).ToString())).ToDxBrush(RenderTa rget);

to get just the color.

Is there a better methode to get the complete Font properties?

Hello Goldy,
I am not certain about SharpDX but you can use Font Family as below:

In SetDefaults,[INDENT]myFont = new SimpleFont("Arial", 12);[/INDENT]
 In Properties,[INDENT][NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "My Font", GroupName = "Parameters", Order = 0)]
public SimpleFont myFont { get; set; }[/INDENT]

Hope it helps!

Hello s.kinra,
thank you, but this was not my question.
In your code you declare a new Font ("Arial",12). I want to use the existing from NT Chart Properties

Hello Goldy,
If you wish to use the Font from Chart Properties then you can use

ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont
