  Hello,

  We want to hide the grid lines inside the column/bar. So the grid lines would be visible throughout the chart but just hide in Column/bar area.

  Please let me know how could we achieve that.

  Thanks,
  
  Parthiv

  Hi Parthiv,

  From what I understand, you wish to prevent the GridLines from rendering over the series data.
  
  If that’s correct then I am researching more over it and discussing about the same with the developer [ID:385382]

  Thanks,

  Hello Parthiv,

  There are no updates on this as of now. I have asked the developer to share an update on this case?
  
  I’ll get back to you as soon as there is some information.

  Thanks,

  Hi Parthiv,

  To prevent grid lines from rendering over column/bar, it’s possible to move columns to the front after rendering the chart. For this, one should handle the Rendered event and inside invoke SetZIndex method, as follows:```
  
  private void chart_Rendered(object sender, C1.WPF.Chart.RenderEventArgs e)
  
  {
  
  // find render canvas
  
  var cnv = chart.FindFirstChild<C1.WPF.Chart.RenderCanvas>();
  
  foreach (var item in cnv.Children)
  
  {
  
  var rect = item as System.Windows.Shapes.Rectangle;
  
  if (rect != null)
  
  {
  
  // move to the front
  
  Canvas.SetZIndex(rect, 1);
  
  //Use opaque fill
  
  rect.Fill = rect.Stroke;
  
  }
  
  }
  
  }

  Hello Ruchir,

  Thanks for the solution. But this is not working when I set the chart’s render mode to “Direct2D”.

  Let me know how can we solve in that case.

  Thanks,

  Hi Parthiv,

  I can see it happening at my end too.
  
  The reason is, our code to set the ZIndex does not get triggered as the RenderCanvas has child of runtime type when RenderMode is set to Default2D.
  
  So, I am re-discussing the case with the developer and will let you know as there is any information.

  Thanks,

  Hello Parthiv,

  Developer has shared a solution that uses Chart’s Rendered and SymbolRendered events. The approach seems to be working, even with Direct2D RenderMode.
  
  You’re requested to verify the same using the attached sample.

  Best wishes,

  Hi Ruchir,

  Thanks for the reply. I have tried the solution you provided but not working.

  I am getting “fld” as null in the below line.

  var fld = chart.GetType().GetField(“_chartRenderer”, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);

  Can you tell me why that can come to null or am I missing anything?

  Thanks,

  Hello Ruchir,

  Actually that has fixed the issue. We have the custom control which is derived from the C1FlexChart and hence I have to change the above code a little bit and that seems working now.

  Thanks,

  Hi Ruchir,

  Sorry to bother you again. The solution provided is working with bar and column charts but we have a chart with the type “Area” and this fix is not working for that.

  I am attaching the sample project to highlight that.

  Would you please review it and let me know what changes need to be made.

  Thanks,

  Apologies Parthiv. I can observe that the workaround fails for Area type charts.
  
  We are researching further to provide you a solution that works with Area type charts too. I’ll come back to you once we have a solution/workaround.

  Thanks,

  Hello Parthiv,

  Currently, there are no workarounds available for Area type charts but the developer is investigating over it.
  
  I will update you as soon as I receive some information.

  Thanks,
