Hi

I am having problems setting a color fill in a high-low series. I select a color and set the transparency to 50%, but although this behaves itself in the IDE design view, when I compile and run the transparency is 100% with no color fill.

I have the chart connected to a GDI+ component, but its still transparent when I set GDI+ active to false.

I never had a problem in the v2008 where this feature always worked well.

Bruce.

Check the paths in the IDE. If you the chart looks different at designtime and at runtime, and no special property is modified by code, it usually indicates there's an entry in the library path pointing to a different installation than the packages loaded with the IDE startup.

Note you don't need to drop a TTeeGDIPlus component anymore.

Could you please specify what exact TeeChart version where you using back in 2008?

If you still find problems with this, please try to arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here.

Hi Yeray

I was using v8.08 in Delphi 2007.

I notice that the reference in my library path in Delphi XE6 for TeeChart 2014 is Dephi20.win32\lib.

Shouldn't that be Delphi20.win64 if I'm running Windows 7 64 bit?

Thanks for the details. They look correct to me so we'd need that simple project I asked above if you can arrange it so we can try to reproduce the problem here.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Yeray

I've attached a very simple project.

In the IDE I see this: When I build and run it I see this: I have left the transparency off so I should see the color filled area series right?

Bruce.

I don't see the "Selected platform" combobox in your image above. See this post to see what are the paths for each platform.

I've opened your project in RAD XE6 here and this is how it looks like for me at design time: If this project you've attached shows the High-Low series filled at design time for you, it can only be that we have different TeeChart versions installed in our IDEs.
Could you please check the packages list? As per the image of the paths you posted above, selecting the package with description "TeeChart Pro 2014 VCL Components" should show "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\TeeChart 2014 for RAD XE6\Delphi20.win32\Bin\DclTeePro920.bpl" for you in the text box below the list. For me the path is a bit different because I change the default installation path to not override it with every installation: As an extra check, please open the Release.txt file from the installation path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steema Software\TeeChart 2014 for RAD XE6) and check if the build is:

Release Notes 12th May 2014
TeeChart VCL/FMX version 2014
Build 2014.11.140512

HI Yeray

Both things that you asked me to check are the same as on your machine.

I take it that the fills in the high-low series is fine on your PC?

Bruce.

Hello,

Thanks for providing all the information requested.
We've found the problem seems to be the HighBrush.Style and LowBrush Style properties seem not to be correctly saved to the dfm.
I've added it to the public tracker:
http://bugs.teechart.net/show_bug.cgi?id=805

The only workaround we can think on at the moment would be to set the property at runtime by code.

OK Yeray I'll wait for a fix in the next release!
