Change background color of MarkText?

[Kaprice]

How can I change the background color of the MarkText box? The only way I've found, so far, is to use Gradient, but I want a solid color. I suppose I could probably set all the parts of the gradient to the same color, but it seems there should be a way to just set the background color.

How can I do that?

I found how to do it via Settings in Edit Chart:

Select Series
Marks
Format
Color

Note: Gradient settings appear to override Format Color.

Hello kaprice,

If you want change by code the color of MarkText background you only need do something as next lines of code
To a concrete mark:

Code: Select all

   TChart1.Series(SeriesIndex).Marks.Item(ValueIndex).Color = vbRed 

To all marks:

Code: Select all

 TChart1.Series(0).Marks.Color = vbRed

Could you confirm us if previous suggestions work in your end?
