Hi,

I use your TDBChart component as a third party component in a report tool. To make it possible for third party components to draw themselves, an OnDraw event exists. I have implemented this event as follows:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.Ll14XObjectDraw(Sender: TObject; Canvas: TCanvas;
  Rect: TRect; IsDesignMode: Boolean; var IsFinished: Boolean);
var
  realRect: TRect;
  meta: TMetafile;
begin
  realRect.Left := 0;
  realRect.Top := 0;
  realRect.Right := realRect.Left+(Rect.Right-Rect.Left);
  realRect.Bottom := realRect.Top+(Rect.Bottom-Rect.Top);

  meta := MyDBChart.TeeCreateMetafile(true, realRect);
  try
    Canvas.StretchDraw(Rect, meta);
  finally
    meta.Free;
  end;
end;

It is the problem now that everything is represented completely illegibly. No more axis markings are represented either. Do I make anything wrong? Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance!

Could really nobody help me? Has nobody problems with the conversion of metafile graphics?

Hi Cogito,

Could you please send us a simple example project we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

You can either post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup or at our upload page.

Thanks in advance.
