Saving Color for Guage Chart!

Seth · Post by **Seth** » Wed Nov 03, 2004 7:33 am

Hello, I am a v6 user.
The problem occurs when I save a line color for the Guage-type chart and re-open it. Like you can see from fig3, the Axis color is still alive like how I previously set, but the line color disappears.

(fig1. editing colors)

(fig2. option dialog used to set colors like fig1)

(fig3. after I save and reopen it)

I would appreciate it, if you could find the solution to this.
Thanks.

Hi,

yes, you're correct, it's a bug, already added on our defect list. In meantima a work around is to set the color at runtime, i.e. :
TChart1.Series(0).Pen.Color = vbBlue

Hello,
to shortly explain how we have your module, our product let users to create reports(UI is something like MSWord). For end users who want to insert chart in their reports, we provide teechart. Our software is already on the market and we have customers who already use teecharts for some of reports. Hence, the sooner, the better.

If we take a method of setting the color at run-time, this means we need to provide UI apart from the default option dialog only for the Guage-type, which we think little awkward.
I can imagine that you are surrounded by busy atomosphere. I would greatly appreciate it, if you could tell me the expected date for the patch.
