I have struggled with the pie chart for a whole day. What's up with all the white-space? Even if I set the top margin of the chart to 0 I end up with a huge gap between the top of the chart panel and the top of the pie. I have a similar problem with the legend. Which somehow seems to bottom align or...

Hi I was certain there was a way to align bottom axis labels (custom) labels. In effect I need the label to draw on the right of the tick, not centered under it? Still plodding along with version 7 (latest). Thanks EDIT: Just encountered something else. Is it possible to draw the grid lines on top o...

Sorry - Never mind. I was being a little stupid.


Hi

Here is what I did:
.AddSeries scLine
.Series(0).FillSampleValues 260
l = .Tools.Add(tcCursor)
.Tools.Items(l).asTeeCursor.Style = cssVertical

With just the above code the cursor appears. If I then attempt to add a second cursor, neither appear?

Using v7 of ActiveX control.

Is it possible to add two tcCursor tools, both with style = vertical?

Hi I want to be able to force the drawline to remain horizontal, if for example the user is holding down a specific key while drawing. I tried the following line of code in the OnDrawLineToolLineDrag event: Chart1.Tools.Items(Chart1.Tools.Count - 1).asDrawLine.ToPoint.Y = Chart1.Tools.Items(Chart1.T...

That was actually a bit embarressing since even doing it manually wasn't exactly rocket-science! I think I do have a real question now though. Same basic chart as before, ie, 12000 points, looking at 260 at a time. I want to enable the scroll feature - horizontal only - with the left mouse button. U...

In the sample code below the rs contains 12400 records. I set the bottom axis so I am only displaying the last 260 points. How can I get the chart to scale the left axis to the maximum and minimum values visibly displayed? #SAMPLE With tc .Environment.MouseWheelScroll = False .RemoveAllSeries .AddSe...

I want to draw a custom image at each point of my series. When I do this using the Point series and the .Brush.AssignImage method it seems as though it tiles the image behind the chart and each point is actually a 'cut-out' displaying a portion of the tiled image, meaning my image looks wrong. For r...

I have a recordset with two fields, priceDate and priceClose. I plot using the DataSource property, ie: .Series(0).DataSource = rs .Series(0).YValues.ValueSource = "prClose" The priceDate interval is daily and the recordset covers many years. I only want an x-axis label at each year change. How woul...

I have a base series which is a normal scLine. To indicate events at certain points in time I add a scPoint series which then plots squares at the relevant point in time on top of the base line. I have custom tooltips so I use the OnMouseEnterSeries to determine which series the mouse is on then cal...

I think there must be a correct way to do what I need. I have a financial chart that generally has more points plotted than visible to user, who can scroll the chart left/right as needed. I want user to be able to add 'annotations' to their chart where ever they click on the chart face. If I use ann...

Chart displaying strange behaviour. I have the EXACT same app using version 7 of the control running on two different XP machines. Machine 1 displays my price line on chart as expected. Machine 2 displays chart, x axis correctly formatted with dates but the y-axis display only 0? Has something like ...

Hi I use the drawline tool to create trendlines on my chart. My interface allows user to modify .pen.width of line. This works fine if I do it directly. If I attempt to do it via a properties form (which opens modal) the property value changes correctly but it does not change visually after the form...

Hi

I need to be able to remove the drawhandles from a drawline tool programatically. Is this possible?

Also, I have drawlines that I have labeled with the annotation tool. Is it possible to have the annotations move with the drawline when I scroll the chart?

Regards,
Ross

I worked it out with a little bit of homework and help from my friends :) Thought I'd post for some future readers benefit. On the mouse up event, if the button is the right mouse button I call the following code to see if the point clicked is on a drawline: (The variables are a little OTT but it wa...
