User (Legacy) Posted April 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 A colleague of mine has been trying to get a straight answer from SFX sales. We have a 64-bit, native C++ application and we need a chart control. Does SoftwareFX have something we can use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software FX Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Is this a Web application or a desktop application ? We have a native 64 Bit version of Chart FX Internet Server currently in BETA. We do not currently have a 64-Bit version of Chart FX Client Server, mainly because there seems to be no demand for it. If you are interested, you may contact our sales department. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com "Terence Wilson" <tez@latte.com> wrote in message news:tmur225bs5tru312jbjdndq7jae2h2jr79@4ax.com... >A colleague of mine has been trying to get a straight answer from SFX > sales.

We have a home grown charting solution, but I had hoped we could standardize on a 3rd party solution. A comment- we've received a very confusing message from SoftwareFX sales. We were first told to use the .NET component because it is 23/64 bit, however, after downloading the trial and trying to make it work in an unmanaged application we were told it absolutely will not work in an unmanaged application, even through interop.... Then we were told that there is a 64-bit client-server component undergoing testing and we should use this product. Now you're telling me that there is no 64-bit desktop chart control. I think there are many ISV's planning 64-bit ports, but currently only the CAD and Scientific processing community are actually doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software FX Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 1) You can use any .NET control though interop, however, we can't provide you with extensive samples, documentation or support as this is not a common scenario. We normally discourage using the control through interop for those reasons and since we have equivalent COM versions for most of our products, it usually makes no sense to do it. 2) I said, "We do not currently have a 64-Bit version of Chart FX Client Server" meaning it is not available, we do have the code ported (Chart FX Internet and Chart FX Client Server share most of the code). 3) We do not know at this point whether or not we are going to release this product, like I said, this will depend on demand and so far most people requiring 64-Bit is for server and a lot of people is using .NET. Out main 64-Bit strategy is the desktop is through .NET. Releasing a product requires additional commitment of resources. We will not release if we feel there is no demand for it. Like I said before your best shot is to contact Software FX and explain your situation. 3) This is a community newsgroup and my posts are in no way the official position of Software FX, I'm only providing information as I know it. Anything that Software FX personnel tells you directly will be way more accurate and should override whatever I post here. My posting are usually of a general nature, speaking directly with Software FX you will obtain a more personalized response. -- Francisco Padron www.chartfx.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
