Hi ChartFX community.

 

I'm trying to get the device context handle for a chart and appropriately release it as well.  Here is the code I have that isn't working.  I feel that I am close and just need a bit of a nudge to fix it.

 

                Dim hDeviceC as IntPtr

                Dim hwnd As IntPtr
                hwnd = chart1.Handle
                hDeviceC = Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd).GetHdc
...
...
...
               Graphics.FromHwnd(hwnd).ReleaseHdc(hDeviceC)
 
The error appears on the last line.
 
I also tried the following, but couldn't find a way to connect "e" to my chart - as denoted by the "missing line"
                Dim e As ChartFX.WinForms.CustomPaintEventArgs
                <MISSING LINE>
                hDeviceC = e.Graphics.GetHdc
...
...
...
                e.Graphics.ReleaseHdc(hDeviceC)
 
Which of these approaches is appropriate? And what am I missing in either case?
 
 
Thanks, and kind regards,
-Colin
