It took me quite some time to learn how to turn off 3d view from the design time tchart editor. Still not sure if I know how to do it.

It seems like the tchart editor only renders the last change before the editor is closing. So it's basically a case of changing the properties, starting the program and watching if the subject properties have been changed. Often this is not the case.

Is it a known issue with regards to these symptoms?

Thanks,

Hi BerntR,

Which TeeChart version are you using? It works fine for me here using the latest version available at our Customer Download Area.

2.0.2306.26232

I read the log for the following version and didn't see that it would make a difference. Are there any unlogged improvements?

Hi BerntR,

No big changes have been done in the chart editor recently. However, what you report has always worked with TeeChart for .NET v2.

Could you please send us an example we can run "as-is" to reproduce this problem here and let us know the steps we should follow?

You can post your files at news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments newsgroup.

Thanks in advance.

In the zooming app I have sent you earlier:




(For the rest of you: the zooming app is just a small chart, shown in 2D)

Here's what I just did:

1) In designtime I turned on 3D view and did another thing (dont remember which)

2) Then I ran the application. Everything is as expected.

3) In designtime I turned off 3D view. Before I left the editor, I also disabled automatic minimum value and automatic max value on the left axis.

4) After closing the editor, everything looks as it should. The designtime chart is displayed in 2D.

5) But in runtime, the chart still displays in 3D.

And the most annoying part: I have no idea how to get it back to 2D. I can send you the bugged version if you wish.

Hi BerntR,

Thanks for the information.

This is because a known issue (TF02011454). That's 3D view toggling at design-time doesn't work fine in Visual Studio 2005.

In the meantime you can do it at run-time:
