Thanks, I finally figured it out - I had to make a final call to Chart.Draw after setting the Y value.

I copy/pasted your example code into my project and it doesn't work either. Is this maybe a bug in my version of TeeChart?

Well, I figured out that the Positions haven't been created when onGetMarkText is called so I've moved the logic into the AfterDrawValues procedure. The code is executing without error and seems to be doing what I want but the arrow is still going to the bottom of the label.

They decided to leave the labels opaque so I never verified the above fix. Now I have to do it for another reason and it's not working - I'm getting an exception. In the onGetMarkText event I'm setting the arrow length and if I detect it's going below the line I have: tmpPos := Sender.Marks.Position...

Yep. That's what I was looking for.

Thanks,

If the callout is below the line series and the callout is transparent, the arrow is drawn up through the box/text to the line. Is there a property I'm missing to have the arrow originate at the top of the callout box?

(I'm using version 7.06. Yes. I know. It's a long story.)

Thanks,

Attached is a sample project that demonstrates the behavior. Notes: 1. I notice that if I call the Chart.Print function the transparencies do NOT print, as you correctly claimed. I'm using the DevEx printing system and it works fine. 2. I'm using the DevEx printing system V 3.4.5 here. The current v...

I just rolled back to 7.06 and it works just fine. Go figure. Looks like I'm stuck if it no longers works.

I just updated from 7.06 to 8.06 and am having the following problem: I have some charts that have area series overlaid to provide shading. Unfortunately, this transparency is NOT rendered when printing. (The series are solid so you can't see through them.) Is there a property I'm missing? (It is th...
