two probs with selector tool

Hi !

I figured out two problems with the selector tool:

1) If you select a series in the chart and disable that series with the chartlistbox, the selection is still there. I think the selection should be not visible in that case, too.
2) If you have custom axis with a axis caption you can select them. But if the caption is rotated (90° in my case) the selection ist still with 0°. This looks a little bit strange :wink:

3) Why isn´t it possible to catch the Callout from a Rectangle tool with the selector tool?

Hi Dominik,

Yes, you're correct, it's a bug which has been added down our defect list. in meantime a workaround could be to clear Selection when Series activation changes :

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.ChartListBox1ChangeActive(Sender: TChartListBox;
  Series: TCustomChartSeries);
begin
  ChartTool2.ClearSelection;
end;
2) If you have custom axis with a axis caption you can select them. But if the caption is rotated (90° in my case) the selection ist still with 0°. This looks a little bit strange Wink
Yes, another bug, added to the defect list to fix it for next maintenance releases. I'm afraid there's not a workaround for this one.
3) Why isn´t it possible to catch the Callout from a Rectangle tool with the selector tool?
For the moment only the following parts of the entire Chart are considered :

Annotation Tool
Rectangle Tool
Chart
Chartrect
Title
Foot
SubTitle
SubFoot
Legend
Axis
Series
SeriesMarks
AxisTitle

We'll consider to add more parts for the next releases. It as been added as a wish.
