Hi Shawn,

Yes, use:

Code: Select all

    TChart1.Series(0).Marks.ResetPositions

narcis,

Thanx, but
the problem is I have a command button that resets the dragmarks.

I have 1 or many series depending on runtime return values
If I give

For i = 0 To TChart1.SeriesCount
TChart1.Series(i).Marks.ResetPositions
Next

It Throws an error.-2147418113

method 'Resetpositions' of object 'IMarks' failed

Private Sub ckDragMarks_Click()
TChart1.Tools.Items(0).Active = True
End Sub

Private Sub cmdReset_Click()
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To TChart1.SeriesCount
TChart1.Series(i).Marks.ResetPositions
Next
TChart1.Tools.Items(0).Active = False
ckDragMarks.Value = 0
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
LoadGraph
End Sub

Public Function LoadGraph()
TChart1.RemoveAllSeries

'i am actually getting this mina nd max date according to the least and biggest date in the dates i return from the DB
'Set the X Axis and Y Axis
With TChart1.Axis.Bottom
.Automatic = False
.SetMinMax CDate("01/01/2005"), CDate("12/31/2005")
.MaximumOffset = 4
.MinimumOffset = 4
.Labels.Separation = 0
.Labels.Size = 25
End With

With TChart1.Axis.Left
.Title.Caption = "Corrosion Rate"
.Automatic = False
.MaximumOffset = 4
.MinimumOffset = 4
.Labels.Size = 25
End With

For j = 0 To 5
'add a series
TChart1.AddSeries (scFastLine)

For k = 0 To j + 3
With TChart1.Series(j)
.XValues.DateTime = True
.AddXY Rnd(100), Rnd(100), "", clTeeColor
.AddXY CDate(DateTime.Now + j), CDbl(j), "", clTeeColor
.Marks.Arrow.Visible = True
.Marks.Arrow.Width = 5
.Marks.Arrow.Style = psDot
.Marks.Arrow.Color = TChart1.Series(j).Color
End With
Next
Next

With TChart1.Axis.Bottom

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the code, we have been able to reproduce the problem here. It is a bug and we have added that to our defect list to be fixed in future releases. The code below works fine.

Code: Select all

Private Sub ckDragMark_Click()
    TChart1.Tools.Items(0).Active = True
End Sub

Private Sub cmd_Reset_Click()
    For seriesindex = 0 To TChart1.SeriesCount - 1
        For i = 0 To TChart1.Series(seriesindex).Count - 1
          TChart1.Series(seriesindex).Marks.Positions.Automatic (i)
        Next i
    Next seriesindex
    TChart1.Environment.InternalRepaint
    
    TChart1.Tools.Items(0).Active = False
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    LoadGraph
End Sub

Public Function LoadGraph()
    TChart1.RemoveAllSeries
    
    'i am actually getting this mina nd max date according to the least and biggest date in the dates i return from the DB
    'Set the X Axis and Y Axis
    With TChart1.Axis.Bottom
        .Automatic = False
        .SetMinMax CDate("01/01/2005"), CDate("12/31/2005")
        .MaximumOffset = 4
        .MinimumOffset = 4
        .Labels.Separation = 0
        .Labels.Size = 25
    End With
    
    With TChart1.Axis.Left
        .Title.Caption = "Corrosion Rate"
        .Automatic = False
        .MaximumOffset = 4
        .MinimumOffset = 4
        .Labels.Size = 25
    End With
    
    For j = 0 To 5
        'add a series
        TChart1.AddSeries (scFastLine)
        
        For k = 0 To j + 3
            With TChart1.Series(j)
                .XValues.DateTime = True
                .AddXY Rnd(100), Rnd(100), "", clTeeColor
                .AddXY CDate(DateTime.Now + j), CDbl(j), "", clTeeColor
                .Marks.Visible = True
                .Marks.Arrow.Visible = True
                .Marks.Arrow.Width = 5
                .Marks.Arrow.Style = psDot
                .Marks.Arrow.Color = TChart1.Series(j).Color
            End With
        Next
    Next
    
    With TChart1.Axis.Bottom
        .Title.Caption = "Inspection Date"
        .Increment = TChart1.GetDateTimeStep(dtOneDay)
        .Labels.DateTimeFormat = "mm/dd/yyyy"
    End With
End Function

Hi Shawn,

We have investigated the issue and found that ResetPositions worked fine. the problem here is the loop that you should have looped from 0 to SeriesCount-1 so code below works fine:

Code: Select all

For i = 0 To TChart1.SeriesCount -1
     TChart1.Series(i).Marks.ResetPositions
Next

Shame we didn't notice that before!
