Hi,

We have a problem with the capability of drag marks. It seems that drag marks truncate its text after about 270(to be confirmed) characters, or in our case, at the 8th/9th line of our drag mark in exemple that I have posted in newsgroup

.

How can we extend the number of characters supported by drag marks?

Thanks for your help

Hi SiA,

Thanks for reporting.

We have a problem with the capability of drag marks. It seems that drag marks truncate its text after about 270(to be confirmed) characters, or in our case, at the 8th/9th line of our drag mark in exemple that I have posted in newsgroup.

We could reproduce the issue here. There's a 255 character limit because in Delphi 1 Strings where current ShortStrings. We have changed that for next releases.

How can we extend the number of characters supported by drag marks?

If you are a TeeChart Pro source code customer you can change the 255 character limit at TeEngine.pas, in TSeriesMarks.DrawText and TSeriesMarks.TextWidth.
