The Breadcrumbs element allows users to return to previous data detail levels. This element includes the following children, which can be customized.

Note

Breadcrumbs are displayed when at least one ~DrillTemplate property is specified.

The ChartControl.Breadcrumbs property manages the following element appearance settings.

The following code utilizes the Breadcrumb properties demonstrated in the image above.

C#

var breadcrumbs = chartControl.Breadcrumbs;
breadcrumbs.Border.Color = Color.LightGray;
breadcrumbs.Border.Visibility = DefaultBoolean.True;
breadcrumbs.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 12.0F, FontStyle.Bold);
breadcrumbs.HomeText = "Home";
breadcrumbs.HoverForeColor = Color.OrangeRed;

VB.NET

With chartControl.Breadcrumbs
    .Border.Color = Color.LightGray
    .Border.Visibility = DefaultBoolean.True
    .Font = New Font("Tahoma", 12.0F, FontStyle.Bold)
    .HomeText = "Home"
    .HoverForeColor = Color.OrangeRed
End With
