v6 Printing

[Rossmc]

I have two controls stacked on top of one another which to the user looks like a single complex chart.

On printing I want both controls to print on one page so the print-out looks the same as on the screen.

Can I do this?

Thanks
Ross

Hi Ross,

Yes, this is possible, there's an example of that at TeeChart Pro v7 ActiveX features demo. You may want to try doing this with v6, the code for the example is:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Combo1_Change()
  Combo1_Click
End Sub

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
  Select Case Combo1.ListIndex
    Case 0: AddCharts 0, 1
    Case 1: AddCharts 1, 1
    Case 2: AddCharts 2, 2
  End Select
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  TeePreviewPanel1.PrintPage
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
  TChart1.Series(0).FillSampleValues 10
  TChart2.Series(0).FillSampleValues 10
  With TChart1.Printer
    .PrintProportional = False
    .MarginLeft = 2
    .MarginTop = 2
    .MarginRight = 60
    .MarginBottom = 60
  End With
  With TChart2.Printer
    .PrintProportional = False
    .MarginLeft = 60
    .MarginTop = 60
    .MarginRight = 2
    .MarginBottom = 2
  End With
  Combo1.ListIndex = 0
  'AddCharts 0, 1
End Sub

Private Function AddCharts(Choice, Active As Integer)
  TeePreviewPanel1.Panels.Clear
  Select Case Combo1.ListIndex
    Case 0:
      If Active = 1 Then
        TeePreviewPanel1.AddChart TChart1
        TeePreviewPanel1.AddChart TChart2
      Else
        TeePreviewPanel1.AddChart TChart2
        TeePreviewPanel1.AddChart TChart1
      End If
      NumCharts = 2
    Case 1: TeePreviewPanel1.AddChart TChart1
            NumCharts = 1
    Case 2: TeePreviewPanel1.AddChart TChart2
            NumCharts = 1
  End Select
  TeePreviewPanel1.Repaint
  Label3.Caption = "Active Chart: TeeChart " & Active
  If Active = 1 Then
    TChart1.Panel.BevelInner = bvLowered
    TChart2.Panel.BevelInner = bvNone
  Else
    TChart1.Panel.BevelInner = bvNone
    TChart2.Panel.BevelInner = bvLowered
  End If
End Function

Private Sub TChart1_OnClick()
  If NumCharts = 2 Then
    AddCharts 0, 1
    TChart1.Panel.BevelInner = bvLowered
    TChart2.Panel.BevelInner = bvNone
  End If
End Sub

Private Sub TChart2_OnClick()
  If NumCharts = 2 Then
    AddCharts 0, 2
    TChart1.Panel.BevelInner = bvNone
    TChart2.Panel.BevelInner = bvLowered
  End If
End Sub
