Hi all

I'm having a chart which bottom axis datetime value is set to "dddhh dd-mm", exact date time is true, multiline is true as well. The first 3 ddd will be converted to the shortname of the day depending on the language of windows. In my case this is dutch. What I would like to have is the shortname in english. How can I achieve this?

I tried to use the OnGetAxisLabel event and replace in there the ddd part to the english day shortname but when I enter this event the ValueIndex is -1 and LabelText parameter is messed up. I read in newsgroup that I had to set the fChart->BottomAxis->LabelStyle to talMark/talText before but this doesn't help (right now it's set to talAuto).
Did I forget to set a parameter somewhere or do I have to convert the total datetime value by myself?
Any Ideas?

Cheers
Karsten

Hi Netsrak,

You can change the strings that delphi uses to display the days of the week as follows:

Code: Select all

  ShortDayNames[1] := 'Mon';
  ShortDayNames[2] := 'Tue';
  ShortDayNames[3] := 'Wed';
  ShortDayNames[4] := 'Thu';
  ShortDayNames[5] := 'Fri';
  ShortDayNames[6] := 'Sat';
  ShortDayNames[7] := 'Sun';
