LegendItemCheckedEventArgs.NewCheckState Property

Gets a value that indicates the check state of a legend item after the ChartControl.LegendItemChecked event is handled.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

public bool NewCheckState { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property NewCheckState As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if a legend item is checked; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the NewCheckState property to define the check state for a legend item after the ChartControl.LegendItemChecked (WebChartControl.LegendItemChecked) event is handled.

Note

Set the Legend.UseCheckBoxes property to CheckBox, CheckBoxAndMarker or MarkerAndCheckBox to use legend check boxes.

For more information on legend checkboxes, see the corresponding section of the Legend Check Box topic.

Example

This example demonstrates how to show chart series (Point, Line, or Area) depending on the selection state of a custom radio button in the chart legend.

View Example

Use the ChartControl.CustomDrawSeries event handler to create a custom appearance for radio buttons based on the color of a selected series. Handle the ChartControl.LegendItemChecked event and use e.CheckedElement and SeriesBase.CheckedInLegend proeprties to show (or hide) the chart series when you switch between radio buttons.
