Problem with X Axis label

CA Rodger · Post by **CA Rodger** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 3:15 pm

I am using D5 with RB7.04 and TeeChart 7.04.

I have a TppDPTeeChart on my form and I set the Bottom Axis Label format Date time format to mmm/yyyy.

When viewing the graph in design mode the botom label displays properly (Dec/2005).

When I run the application the label is displayed wrong. It comes out as 12/1/2005

Why does it not display properly when running? How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance,
Rodger

Hi Rodger,

Are you setting this format at design-time? It could be that with TppDPTeeChart, at design-time, this property is not stored. You could try setting it at run-time.

I tried the following code and no change its still displaying the labels incorrectly.

ppDPTeeChart1.Chart.BottomAxis.DateTimeFormat := 'mm-yyyy'

Hi Rodger,

could you please test if the same code you're using works fine with a TDBChart component ? Also, remember to set the XValues do datetime before to add the data : Series1.XValues.DateTime := true;

If it only happens with the tppChart component (the RB TDBChart
wrapper) contact with Digital Metaphors and ask for a patch file.

I tried it with a TDBChart and still get the same result.

Hi Rodger,

using the following line works fine here (with DBChart) :
dbChart1.Axes.Bottom.DateTimeFormat := 'mmm-yyyy';

Could you please check if it works for you ?

Nope wasn't working for me. I tried
DBChart1.Axes.Bottom.DateTimeFormat := 'mmm-yyyy';

and

DBChart1.BottomAxis.DateTimeFormat := 'mmm-yyyy';

neither worked. I have the series DataSource set to DataSet with the Dataset set to the name of my query. I have the Date Column set in both the Labels and the X property with the DateTime checkbox checked.

Is there something wrong there?

Thanks in advance,
Rodger

Found the problem. The Labels property needed to be blank and Iwas setting it to the same as the X property. Not quite sure what should have been there or I guess I'm not quite sure how these settings should be set.

Thanks,
Rodger
