ChartClickSeries Problem

Post by Hank » Fri Apr 19, 2013 4:27 pm

I have several programs that, as I recall, worked fine with the previous version, but when I compile them with v2011/12, clicking on bar series seems to be scaled down from the actual display.

Attached is an example:

Code: Select all

procedure TSSGraphForm.FormActivate(Sender: TObject);
var x, y                                                     : integer;
    Series                                                   : TBarSeries;
begin
  WindowState := wsMaximized;
  Chart.Visible := true;
  for x := 1 to 5 do
    begin
      Series := Chart.AddSeries(TBarSeries) as TBarSeries;
      Series.Title := IntToStr(x);
      Series.MultiBar := mbnone;
      Series.Marks.Visible := false;
      Series.Transparency := 20;
      for y := 1 to 6 do Series.Add((6-x)*y,IntToStr(y));
    end;
end;

procedure TSSGraphForm.ChartClickSeries(Sender: TCustomChart; Series: TChartSeries;
  ValueIndex: Integer; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  MessageDlg (Series.Title, mtInformation, [mbOk], 0);
end;
I'm also attaching the complied EXE.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate and Delphi XE3

The bars seem to display fine, but if you click on the higher part of the front side of any bar, the ChartClickSeries doesn't fire normally. As you click down the bar lower and lower, eventually you get an event, but it returns the wrong series.

It's almost like the vertical scale is off between the mouse position and the display

Any assistance in what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated

Hi Hank,

You are right. It seems the Clicked function was broken with v2011.04 when having the default orthogonal 3D view and MultiBar=mbNone.
I've added it to the defect list to be revised for future releases (TV52016555).

Thanks very much, Yeray

Can you suggest a work-around?

Maybe I could use a different series type like COLUMNS to get the same effect

mbBarNone was just the first one I stumbled upon that gave me that unstacked 3D look

Hi Hank,

Of course you can implement your own version of the clicked function and call it at the Chart OnClick event. However, if you do it you'll see this function has to handle a quite significant number of possibilities (Bar styles, MultiBar styles, 3D/2D, etc) making it quite complicate.
I'm afraid I can't think on any other workaround at the moment.

Hi Hank,

We've revised this and found the fix for it. It will be included with the next maintenance release.

Great, and thanks very much

Do you have any idea when that will be and how I check for it?

Hi Hank,

We are focused in the support for the new XE4 at this moment. The Standard version is shipped with it, as always, and we are testing the Pro version with it.
What I'm not sure right now is if we'll be able to publish a full maintenance release when these tests will have finished or if we'll have to publish a beta version only for XE4. This will depend on these changes to support XE4, if they break the support for the other IDEs or not.

At this point I don't mind buying any new versions of Delphi or TeeChart

Is there currently ANY version of TeeChart available where this problem doesn't exist?

If not, when/where will the first version of TeeChart for any version of Delphi be available where this problem doesn't exist?

If it's available now I'll buy whatever I need to.

If the time frame is a few weeks I might be able to wait

If the time frame is longer than a few weeks I need to give up and start over with something else

TV52016555 seem to appear in TeeChart v2011.04. So this as far as we know this should work with TeeChart v2011.03 or lower.

The next version we publish will include the fix.
We'll probably publish a pre-release version just for XE4 as soon as possible and a full maintenance release supporting all the usual IDEs a bit later.
However, as said above, I'm not sure when it will be. The pre-release for XE4 hopefully in a few days.
