Creating a nerw chart and adding it to a Grid control in WPF

[Mike B]

OK, this is probably obvious. I want to dynamically create a chart and add it to a grid in WPF. I thought it would be this simple:

Code: Select all

            //...Create a row in the grid
            RowDefinition chartRowDef = new RowDefinition();
            chartRowDef.Height = new GridLength(200);
            MyGrid.RowDefinitions.Add(chartRowDef);
            //...Create the chart
            Steema.TeeChart.Chart chart = new Steema.TeeChart.Chart();
            //...And add it to the grid control
            MyGrid.Children.Add(chart); //<--- WONT COMPILE!

This will not compile, since chart is type Steema.TeeChart.Chart, and the grid requires a System.Windows.UIElement.

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks,
Mike B.

Hello Mike,

This will not compile, since chart is type Steema.TeeChart.Chart, and the grid requires a System.Windows.UIElement.

How do I accomplish this?

Try:

Code: Select all

    private void InitializeChart()
    {
      RowDefinition chartRowDef = new RowDefinition();
      chartRowDef.Height = new GridLength(200);
      MyGrid.RowDefinitions.Add(chartRowDef);
      //...Create the chart
      Steema.TeeChart.WPF.TChart chart = new Steema.TeeChart.WPF.TChart();
      //...And add it to the grid control
      MyGrid.Children.Add(chart); //<--- WILL COMPILE! 
    }
