Hello,

For some reason, my legend is only showing the last point in the legend. I really don't have anything that is making it only show 1 point, but it is. Here is the code... How can I have it show the last 6 points? Or better yet, how can I zoom a chart (by button push) such that only the last 6 points are being shown and they are all in the legend.

code

With TChart2

.Legend.Visible = True
.Legend.Gradient.StartColor = RGB(125, 125, 125)
.Legend.Gradient.EndColor = vbWhite

.Series(0).ShowInLegend = False
.Series(1).ShowInLegend = True
.Series(2).ShowInLegend = False

.Legend.Alignment = laRight
.Legend.Shadow.Transparency = 100

End With

Thanks!

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Yes, this can be achieved doing something like:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    TChart1.Series(1).ShowInLegend = False
    TChart1.Series(2).ShowInLegend = False
    
    TChart1.Legend.LegendStyle = lsValues
    
    With TChart1.Series(0)
        TChart1.Axis.Bottom.SetMinMax .XValues.Value(.Count - 6), _
                                        .XValues.Value(.Count - 1)
                                        
        TChart1.Legend.FirstValue = .Count - 6
    End With
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
    With TChart1.Axis
        .Left.Automatic = True
        .Bottom.Automatic = True
    End With
    
    TChart1.Series(1).ShowInLegend = True
    TChart1.Series(2).ShowInLegend = True
    
    TChart1.Legend.LegendStyle = lsAuto
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    For i = 0 To TChart1.SeriesCount - 1
        TChart1.Series(i).FillSampleValues 25
    Next
End Sub

That DID give me the last 6 on the chart, thanks... However, the legend didn't display. I got it to display myself, but it still only showed the last value and not the last 6.

Hi Andrew,

Could you please send us an example we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

You can post your files at [url]news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments[/url] newsgroup.

I posted the VB6 project (simple test project) onto the newsgroup for you.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the example but I'm afraid that form files are missing. Could you please check it?

Thanks in advance.
