LightningChart® .NET (abbreviated) Changelog
LC .NET version 12.5.1.1
Released March 17th, 2026.

In this release we focus on improving LegendBox and PrintPreview dialog. New features/properties were added related to that, as well as previous errors have been fixed. In addition, now with AutoPadding property in ViewXY an extra space can be reserved for custom items in the chart.


Refined LegendBox rendering for all views
Refined LegendBox rendering for all views. The behavior and the style of LegendBox's rendering between views are now harmonized. When possible, the same method is used to produce similar results. Furthermore, some errors are fixed, and new LegendBox related features are added. For example, the new VerticalTitlesGap property controls minimum gap between LegendBox's titles, LegendBox now supports titles with multiple lines, mouse-events over LegendBox have more detailed information.


Improvement of the PrintPreview dialog
PrintPreview dialog has been revised. Now in WinForms (but not in WPF) the dialog is available in several languages: EN, DE and FI. Dialog's UI is slightly changed, and user has some controls which items to show and which default values are set.


Added AutoPadding property for ViewXY
Now ViewXY has AutoPadding property. This is the padding in PXs for control's edges, i.e. the outer edge or rim of the chart, which encloses ViewXY margins. AutoPadding can be used when Margins are auto-adjusted (AxisLayout.AutoAdjustMargins is enabled). Chart objects like Annotations and LegendBoxes can be placed in the padded area.


Other features / improvement
.NET Trader's behavior was improved.
Band's border now has BorderType property (Inner, Outer or None).
Added support for 24-bit and 32-bit WAV audio files.
Improved handling of D3DImage failure.
