Customise "No Data Available" message

[fazilcu]

This will do it: 

Chart1.SetMessageText(

"NoData", "My No Data Available Message")

Where should I place this code? I tried to add it into Page_Load, but i doesn't work.

 

ChartFX 7.0.2893.24916

Form_Load works for me.

I tried both rendering as Image and .NET.

Looks like the problem was in RandomData-Series attribute.

Default.aspx

<chartfx7:Chart ID="Chart1" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1" Height="250px"
  Width="375px">
  </chartfx7:Chart>
  <chartfx7:Chart ID="Chart2" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1" SelectMethod="GetData"
  RandomData-Series="1">
  </chartfx7:Chart>
  <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="ObjectDataSource1" runat="server" SelectMethod="GetData"
  TypeName="Class1"></asp:ObjectDataSource>

Default.aspx.cs

Chart1.SetMessageText("NoData", "My No Data Available Message");
Chart2.SetMessageText("NoData", "My No Data Available Message");

This did not help me since I am not getting the method SetMessageText on my chart. I am using Chart Fx 8 for WPF.

Then you are on the wrong thread. This one is about Chart FX 7 Web Forms only. Here is a link to the Chart FX for WPF Discussion Boardhttp://community.softwarefx.com/forums/default.aspx?GroupID=26Now, to answer your question, try the following.

 chart1.MessageTable["NoData"] = "This is my custom message";

If at any time after setting that you would like to revert to the default message, clear the MessageTable.

 chart1.MessageTable.Clear();

Thanks a lot. This worked.

chart1.MessageTable["NoData"] = "This is my custom message";

Actually I searched the WPF discussion board before posting here.

Thanks once again
