Remarks
The LegendItemsCollection class represents a collection of LegendItem objects, which in turn represent items in a legend.
This collection class is used in two ways:
- It is exposed as the CustomItems object property of the Legend object, and allows for the addition, deletion, etc. of custom legend items. The term "custom" refers to legend items that have user defined text, symbol color, etc. as opposed to "default" legend items that are automatically inserted into the legend and represent a data series or point (default legend entries of pie and doughnut charts represent the plotted data points, while entries for all other chart types represent the plotted series ). The CustomItems property is available at both design-time and run-time.
- The LegendItems property stores both the "default" legend items and the "custom" legend items that have been added to the control at design-time. Legend items can be modified or deleted, and in addition their order can be changed.
For further discussion concerning "custom" and "default" legend items see the Default Legend Entries and Custom Legend Entries topic.
Legend items can be added using the overloaded Add and Insert methods.
