i have a problem with the following code:

TChart.Tools.Items(0).ShowEditor

it crashes when the Item is an annotation tool (it may also crash on other tools). This code would work fine on version 7 of TChart.

Hi Brian,

I'm not able to reproduce it. Could you please attach a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here?
Thanks in advance.

Yeray,
You can reproduce it your own TeeChartv8featuredemo software. Go to Tools->Annotation->Annotation Callout example and click on the Edit button. You will get the same error as i do:

Control 'TabSeriesList' has no parent window

It seems you cannot open the editor (ShowEdit) with anything but series (i.e., the generic ShowEdit, which works fine). This is a showstopper for me - i have had to re-work my code and replace your editor with ones of my own, but i would have preferred to continue using yours because it has many more features.

Hi Brian,

I haven't still able to reproduce it in two different machines. Have you tested it in more than one computer? Could you try to uninstall+reinstall or unregister+reregister the ocx?

[XRS]

I have only tried it one - the development machine. When you install a new update of v8, or any other version, is it necessary to uninstall previous versions?
I can try uninstalling as you suggest but this will have to wait for a bit as i am in the middle of some other updates from v.7 to v.8 (new features).
Thanks, Brian

Hi Brian,

No, it shouldn't be necessary but the only thing I can think is that there could be some kind of conflict in your machine. For example I have installed and registered TeeChart v4, TeeChart v7, Teechart v8.0.0.6 and Teechart v8.0.0.6 Unicode in the same machine. Only I have to use one or another, not two of them in the same application.
