Ok so I went to NT support - and they can't reveal the BackColorAll method to the users and apparently you can't convert a brush to a color. All very frustrating. For something that seems to simple.

What I find intensely frustrating is that I have exposed the following

ChartControl.Bounds
ChartControl.BackColor and BackColorAll
ChartControl.Canvas points
Even Rectangle screenRectangle = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds

NONE of which will give the bounds of the whole form on which the chart is made- maddening.

Why do you spend so much time on changing the colors, better focus on making profits!
