C++/CX XAML How To Create Simple Pie Chart

Question

Hi all,

How do I create a simple Pie Chart Control in a blank C++/XAML Windows Store App from scratch? What would be a nice approach without relying on third-party XAML controls? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Something that looks like this:

Answer 1

I recommend that you research XAML pie charts written in WPF and try porting them over. If you have questions about an API which doesn't translate well, please ask a question about it.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.

Answer 2

Isn't there a way to do it by just drawing using XAML?

Answer 3

Yes, you can draw them using XAML. That's why I recommend that you research what other people have already done in the WPF space, as it's going to be very similar.
