Adding Bar with default color values

[CarlS]

Hi

I have an eval copy of Teechart pro 8 active ex running on VB.net and I can't seem to add a bar to the series with the default color theme defined by the chart editor.

My code looks something like this:

Me.AxTChart1.Series(0).Add(50, "Test", System.Convert.ToUInt32(System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToOle(System.Drawing.Color.Empty)))
Me.AxTChart1.SetTheme(TeeChart.EChartTheme.ctWindowsXP, TeeChart.EColorPalette.cpWindowsXP)
Me.AxTChart1.Series(0).ColorEachPoint = True

I feel like I am really missing something here ...???

Hi CarlS,

You could try this:

Code: Select all

Me.AxTChart1.Series(0).Add(50, "Test", clTeeColor)

Hope this helps!

Hey Narcis

Thanks for the quick reply.


I did try that but my app keeps underlining the word and telling me that it's not declared.

Thanks
Carl

Hi Carl,

What about using 536870912 instead? You'll find all TeeChart's constants definitions in TeeChartDefines.h at C:\Program Files\Steema Software\TeeChart Pro v8 ActiveX Control\Examples\Visual C++.

I'm getting the same problem in VB2008. Is there some file I should add to my project?

Hi Neutone,

I'm afraid not. If VB2008 doesn't accept TeeChart's constant definitions you'll have to use their values described at TeeChartDefines.h.
