Hi Faizullah,

It works fine for me here using something like this:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Load()
    TChart1.Series(0).FillSampleValues 10
        
    Me.ScaleMode = vbPixels
    TChart1.Legend.CustomPosition = True
    TChart1.Environment.InternalRepaint
End Sub

Private Sub TChart1_OnAfterDraw()
    TChart1.Legend.Left = TChart1.Width / 2
    TChart1.Legend.Top = TChart1.Top + 50
End Sub

Hi Faizullah,

I'm still not sure about what you are exactly trying to achieve. You can try if the code below does what you request. If it doesn't could you please extend on your request and if possible send us an image so that I can exactly understand what you want to draw?

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

Code: Select all

Dim LegendLeft As Integer

Private Sub Form_Load()
    TChart1.Series(0).FillSampleValues 10
    
    Me.ScaleMode = vbPixels
    LegendLeft = 0
    TChart1.Environment.InternalRepaint
End Sub

Private Sub TChart1_OnAfterDraw()
    Dim LegendHeight As Integer
    
    With TChart1.Legend
        If (LegendLeft = 0) Then
            LegendLeft = .Left
        End If
        
        LegendHeight = .ShapeBounds.Bottom - .ShapeBounds.Top
        
        .CustomPosition = True
        .Left = LegendLeft
        .Top = (TChart1.Height / 2) - (LegendHeight / 2)
        
        TChart1.Panel.MarginUnits = muPixels
        TChart1.Panel.MarginRight = (TChart1.Width - .Left) + _
                                    (TChart1.Width - .ShapeBounds.Right)
    End With
End Sub

Hi

Legends problem is almost solved by using this code .
1- Some time Panel Right Margin increases from legend size .

2 -On resizing the Vb 6.0 form follwing Error mesaage appear and form resizing is not possible "Not Enough Storage is available to process this commad".

Hi,

it works fine here (both issues) using the following code :

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Load()
With TChart1
    .Height = Form1.ScaleHeight
    .Width = Form1.ScaleWidth
    .Left = 0
    .Top = 0
    
    .AddSeries scLine
    .Series(0).FillSampleValues 10
    
    Me.ScaleMode = vbPixels
    LegendLeft = 0
    .Environment.InternalRepaint
End With
End Sub

Private Sub TChart1_OnAfterDraw()
    Dim LegendHeight As Integer
    With TChart1.Legend
        LegendHeight = .ShapeBounds.Bottom - .ShapeBounds.Top
        .CustomPosition = True
        .Left = TChart1.Width - (.ShapeBounds.Right - .ShapeBounds.Left) - 10
        .Top = (TChart1.Height / 2) - (LegendHeight / 2)

        TChart1.Panel.MarginUnits = muPixels
        TChart1.Panel.MarginRight = (TChart1.Width - .Left) + 10
    End With
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Resize()
With TChart1
    .Height = Form1.ScaleHeight
    .Width = Form1.ScaleWidth
    .Left = 0
    .Top = 0
End With
End Sub

Could you please check if it works fine for you ?
