Perimeter function help file errors

I'm intrigued by the new perimeter function in TeeChart 7. However, the help file generates errors when I try to examine the methods of the functions.

Can someone point out 1) the hierarchy required to access the function/methods, and 2) a description of the function's methods?

Thanks,

-Mark

Hi Mark,

using the TeeChart Pro v7.01 I'm able to access into the Help without problems. Have you tried to find the info in the help searhing by TPerimeterFunction in the Index.?

I can access basic information on the Iperimeterfunction, however, the help file generates errors when I try to view the function's methods.

Specifically, after bringing up information on IPerimeterfunction, I then click on "Methods", which opens a separate help file window listing the function's methods. If I try to click on the listed methods, I get the error "the topic does not exist. Please contact your vendor".

Is there an updated help file available?

v 7.0.0.2

Just noticed that I have v 7.0.0.2 (downloaded earlier this month, version info seen when I right-click on the control in my app). Is there a more recent one? If so, where do I get an updated control?

As an aside...is it best to completely uninstall my old version before updating files?

Thanks,

-Mark

Yes, you're correct, the problem is that the IPerimeterFunction does not have methods, the methods available in the help has been generated automatically when we create the help but these are internal methods.
We'll remove them in the installer for the next maintenance release.

No, the v7.0.0.2 is the latest. Normally we prepare a new maintenance release every 6-2 weeks which are anounced on our web site and can be download from the "Private Customer download page".
