How do I centre data labels in horizontal bars

I can get the attached using:
nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.VertAlign = Nevron.VertAlign.Center;
nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.ArrowLength = new NLength(0);
nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.ArrowStrokeStyle = new NStrokeStyle(0);
nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.ArrowPointerLength = new NLength(0);

but I want the label to be centred vertically within the bar. Can I do this?

Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
We tested with the following code and were not able to replicate the problem:

   NChart chart = nChartControl1.Charts[0];
   chart.SetPredefinedChartStyle(PredefinedChartStyle.HorizontalRight);
   chart.DisplayOnLegend = null;

{
NBarSeries nevronSeries = new NBarSeries();

nevronSeries.Values.Add(10);
nevronSeries.Values.Add(20);

chart.Series.Add(nevronSeries);

    nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.VertAlign = Nevron.VertAlign.Center;
    nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.ArrowLength = new NLength(0);
    nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.ArrowStrokeStyle = new NStrokeStyle(0);
    nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.ArrowPointerLength = new NLength(0);
   }

{
NBarSeries nevronSeries = new NBarSeries();

    nevronSeries.MultiBarMode = MultiBarMode.Clustered;
    nevronSeries.Values.Add(10);
    nevronSeries.Values.Add(20);

chart.Series.Add(nevronSeries);

Most likely you touch the TextStyle associated with the data labels somewhere. You can try the following:

nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.TextStyle.StringFormatStyle.HorzAlign = Nevron.HorzAlign.Center;
nevronSeries.DataLabelStyle.TextStyle.StringFormatStyle.VertAlign = Nevron.VertAlign.Center;

Hope this helps - let us know if you meet any problems.

Thanks.

I noticed after posting that one of the examples had correctly centred labels.
We are still using 16.8.8.12, so I suspect this issue has been fixed since then.
It would be good to have release notes indicating what is fixed in each release.
