Remarks

The BackSecondaryColor property is one of several related properties that determine the secondary background color of many Chart objects; it is used when gradient colors are being applied.

This property is only implemented if the ImageStyle property is set to Rectangle.

You can set BackSecondaryColor to any valid ARGB (alpha, red, green, blue) value.

If hatching is used, the BackSecondaryColor property determines the color of the hatching lines for the legend item.

To use gradient colors for a legend cell's background:

To use gradient colors:

• Use the Color property to set the primary color.

• Use the BackGradientStyle property to set the secondary color.

• Use the BackGradientStyle property to set the desired gradient style.

Note

This property is applicable only to LegendCell objects with a LegendCellType of either SeriesSymbol or Image.
