Strange behaviour going from V8.0.0.7 to V8.0.0.8.

[TonyVSUK]

I've just tried using v8.0.0.8, but have immediately hit a problem.

Using 8.0.0.7, when I access the chart editor, I get this image.


But when using 8.0.0.8, I get the following (no changes to my code, all I did was install the latest version).


Any idea what is happening here?

Tony.

Hi Tony,

You probably downloaded the Unicode version that uses unicode strings internally but, as delphi isn't full Unicode until v2010, the components such as TLabel show the unicode strings without formatting them.

Thanks, going to the non-unicode seems to have sorted it out.

So how do I go about using the Unicode version? I'm passing in a Unicode string to get that error.

Hi Tony,

The unicode version can't format unicode strings in the editor because the components used (TEdit, TButton, TLabel,...) aren't full unicode. Our plans are to have a full unicode version with the next TeeChart ActiveX v9 that will be compiled with a full unicode IDE, RAD Studio 2010.
