how to show legend boxes without the chart?

[samiam1029]

I need to be able to completely hide the chart and show only the legend boxes at the bottom. How do I do this?

Thanks!

Hi samiam1029

Unfortunately, there is not a simple way you can hide the plot area of the chart.  This is a workaround, but it implies changing the data of the chart.  The following code you need:

// clear the current data.chart1.Data.Clear();

// manually add new Legend Box Items (when you clear the data, the legend box will be cleared as well)CustomLegendItem myCustomItem1 = new CustomLegendItem();myCustomItem1.Text = "New Label 1";myCustomItem1.MarkerShape = MarkerShape.Circle;myCustomItem1.Color = Color.LightSteelBlue;chart1.LegendBox.CustomItems.Add(myCustomItem1);

// when Chart FX does not have data (after clear it), automatically a message will be plotted
