Style for charting

Hi,
I added a StackedBar to my Report. In the Designer, I changed the colors for the bars, but when I go to the preview, the chart is shown with the default Style01 colors. What I'm doing wrong?

this Problem could be solved by changing the Allow Apply Style property to false.
But now I have another problem:

In my chart there are two series. I want to set different Series Labels for each of them. But I can only set the series for the whole chart. If i doublecklick the chart, I can set the series labels for every series, but the chart isn't affected by this property??
In the documentation there is no entry for charting and your examples are only styled with the default styles.

Another thing is, how to save my colors? When I choose custom and define one, it isn't saved.

Thank you

Hi,

To apply different Series Labels for different Series, we have 'Show Series Labels' property for each of Series. You can find this property in the Series Editor.

Please set ShowSeriesLabels in the 'FromSeries' value.

Which colours you could not save? We had an error of saving user's styles but we have corrected it in the latest versions of Stimulsoft Reports.Net.

What was the version number you used?

Thank you.

Hi,
thank you, the label problem is now fixed

The styles works fine, but not the colors. I define a custom color and this color isn't saved in the color palette. The colors in a style are working fine.

Hi,
I'm using 2009.3.414 from October 26st 2009.

But I've identified another problem. Is it possible to calculate the value for the labels?

Hi,
My chart is a stacked column chart with 2 series. The green one works right, the blue one is calculated as (blue value - green value), so the chart is right. But the label for the blue column should show the blue value instead of blue - green.

Hi

Please find attached file. The trick is to use for the second series Argument as a Value you need to display.

Is that the result you were after?

Thank you.

Hi,
sorry but this isn't the solution. I need an expression for the label of series 2. The values for series 2 are calculated by series2 - series1, but the label should be only series 2. In your example I painted the desired values for the labels of series 2
