Hi there, 

Is it possible to wrap legend labels when they are too long?

Thanks

Hello TKE,

To accomplish this you may want to use the following:

chart1.LegendBox.Height = 100;

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

chart1.LegendBox.Width = 100;

chart1.LegendBox.Style |= ChartFX.WinForms.LegendBoxStyles.Wordbreak;

Notice that for the property Wordbreak of the LegendBox you must set the size of your LegendBox.

Here is my full sample code:

chart1.Data.Series = 1;

chart1.Data.Points = 3;

chart1.Gallery = ChartFX.WinForms.Gallery.Pie;

chart1.LegendBox.Visible = true;

chart1.Data[0, 0] = 30;

chart1.Data[0, 1] = 50;

chart1.Data[0, 2] = 20;

chart1.Data.Labels[0] = "Internet Explorer nbvbvxbvx";

chart1.Data.Labels[1] = "Netscape";

chart1.Data.Labels[2] = "Other";

chart1.LegendBox.Height = 100;

chart1.LegendBox.Width = 100;

chart1.LegendBox.Style |= ChartFX.WinForms.LegendBoxStyles.Wordbreak;
