AreaChartBrush doesn't seem to properly return the correct brush style when you set it to certain styles

The following code demonstrates the problem:

Code: Select all

Private Sub Form_Load()
    TChart1.AddSeries scArea
    TChart1.Series(0).asArea.AreaChartBrush.Style = bsCrossSmall
    If TChart1.Series(0).asArea.AreaChartBrush.Style = bsCrossSmall Then
        MsgBox "It Worked!"
    Else
        MsgBox "Uh-oh"
    End If
End Sub

If there a way to get back the value that I put in AreaChartBrush?

Hi thatnerdyguy,

We could reproduce the issue here and this seems to be a bug. We've added it (TA05012240) to our defect list to be fixed for future releases.

We can say by now which styles work well and which not:

NOT WORKING
bsBackCrossSmall
bsBackDiagSmall
bsCrossSmall
bsDiagSmall
bsFill10
bsFill20
bsFill40
bsFill60
bsFill80
bsHorizSmall
bsVertSmall
bsZigZag

WORKING
bsClear
bsCross
bsDiagCross
bsFDiagonal
bsBDiagonal
bsHorizontal
bsVertical
bsSolid

Thanks for reporting this.

Hi,

about this issue, let you know that this is as designed, as brush styles different of (bsSolid, bsClear, bsHorizontal, bsVertical, bsFDiagonal, bsBDiagonal, bsCross, bsDiagCross) are not a standard brush styles they cannot return a correct index nor change its pen color for example.

These brush styles are applied by loading a custom image into the IBrush.

I'm afraid we cannot control the index ( return anyone ) when brush style applied is not a standard brush.
