Legend Item Text is not visible in Windows11Dark. This is because the LegendItem  A possible workaround is to subscribe to the VisualItemCreating event. In the event handler, we can create a new LegendItemElement and set its ForeColor.

private void LegendElement_VisualItemCreating(object sender, LegendItemElementCreatingEventArgs e)
{            
    e.ItemElement = new LegendItemElement(e.LegendItem) { ForeColor = Color.Black };
}

Currently, VisualStudio2012DarkTheme has a white background in order to be able to read the labels. This change was done when addressing this item:

https://feedback.telerik.com/winforms/1535458-radchartview-the-axis-label-are-difficult-to-read-in-visualstudio2012darktheme 

However, it is inconsistent a dark theme to have a white background color. The design should be improved to achieve consistent look and feel.

Before zoom: 

After zoom:

Please refer to the attached sample project. Try to select a point.

Expected result: the clicked point should be colored in red.

Actual result: a random point is colored in red even though the label is colored correctly. The attached gif file illustrates the observed result.

System.OverflowException: 'Value was either too large or too small for a Decimal.

Currently, RadChartView offers exporting to a Bitmap in one of the following formats: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.imaging.imageformat?view=netframework-4.8

It would be nice to have export functionality to  a vector image.

Hi team,

We need a ChartView with multiple series and multiple Y-axis. The axis color of each Y-axis should be automatically painted according to the palette setting (thank you for the brilliant work - it's very intuitive). However, if clear the series and re-assign a new set of series, the border color of the first axis changes to black, regardless which palette is active. If the palette is set to a new one, the border color can be re-painted correctly. See screenshot as attached.

How to reproduce: Please refer to the attached project for a demo of reproduction. Click the first button to populate new random data. The border color of the first axis should change to black after clicking the button twice and more times. Clicking the second button will force the palette to change and the border color will become normal.

Thank you, team.

Best,

Yusi

When you have BarSeries and LineSeries in RadChartView the problem is that the DataPoint.Presenter is always BarSerries, never LineSeries. 

To workaround, create custom renderer:

this.radChartView1.CreateRenderer += this.RadChartView1_CreateRenderer;
private void RadChartView1_CreateRenderer(object sender, ChartViewCreateRendererEventArgs e)
{
    e.Renderer = new CustomCartesianRenderer(e.Area as CartesianArea);
}

public class CustomCartesianRenderer : CartesianRenderer
{
    public CustomCartesianRenderer(CartesianArea area)
        : base(area)
    { }
    public override DataPoint HitTest(int x, int y)
    {
        for (int i = this.DrawParts.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        {
            DataPoint dataPoint = this.DrawParts[i].HitTest(new Point(x, y));
            if (dataPoint != null)
            {
                return dataPoint;
            }
        }

        return base.HitTest(x, y);
    }
}

Use attached to reproduce. 

- Click at least 7 times.

Workaround: Crete new series instance each time.

Inside the constructor of a form create a pie series and populate it with data. Then add it to a RadChartView. You will notice that there are two legend items per data point.
