Questions

Hi,
I’m experimenting with the LegendModifier and want to control which RenderableSeries are shown via the “LegendItemTemplate” approach. The idea is to add a specific tagging class to the RenderableSeries.DataSeries.Tag and use the content inside the LegendItemTemplate which I define in the Window.Resouces.

The tagging Class:

public class DataSeriesTag
{
    public string LegendText { get; set; }
    public bool ShowLegend { get; set; }
}

The LegendItemTemplate:
<Window.Resources>

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

            <!--<CheckBox Width="16" Margin="5,0,0,0"
                HorizontalAlignment="Left"
                VerticalAlignment="Center"
                IsChecked="{Binding RenderableSeries.IsVisible, Mode=TwoWay}"
                Visibility="{Binding RenderableSeries.DataSeries.Tag.ShowLegend, Converter={dxmvvm:BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" />-->

            <s:PointMarker Grid.Column="1" Margin="5,0,0,0" Width="40" Height="10" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"
              DataContext="{Binding RenderableSeries}"
              DeferredContent="{Binding LegendMarkerTemplate}"
              Visibility="{Binding ShowSeriesMarkers, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=s:SciChartLegend}, Converter={dxmvvm:BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" />

            <TextBlock Margin="5,0,5,0"
     Grid.Column="2"
     HorizontalAlignment="Left"
     Text="{Binding RenderableSeries.DataSeries.Tag.LegendText}" />

        </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>

As long as I declare the SciChartSurface.ChartModifier in XAML, it works perfect.
The proplem raises when I bind the ModifierGroup to a ViewModel Property and try to build the LegendModifier there. How can I assign the LegendItemTemplate in the ViewModel?:

legendModifier = new LegendModifier(){
            ShowLegend = true,
            ShowVisibilityCheckboxes = false,
            LegendItemTemplate = ??????
        };
        TheModifiers.ChildModifiers.Add(legendModifier);

Kind regards
