User (Legacy) Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I have a few questions about ChartFX Lite: 1) The print button is not shown in the toolbar. Does ChartFX Lite come with this feature? The screenshots included in the Lite tutorial show the toolbar having a print button. 2) Does ChartFX Lite have a paging feature? For example, lets say you're charting the height of people (in a bar chart). If you have 1000 people that you're charting, the data on the chart will be very small if the results dont span multiple pages. 3) From the help file, I noticed the 2 main methods of populating the chart are DataSource (with DataType) and OpenData. I'm dealing with a table that has a lot of fields. As a result, OpenData didn't seem too useful. DataSource would be useful, however you have to explicitly exclude any column's you wish not to have in your chart (with DataType[index]). So not only do you have to explicitly exclude the columns that you don't want in the graph, but you also have to reference them by number/index. I was hoping I could just pass the data table to the data source and tell it the column names to use in the graph, all other columns not specified would be automatically excluded. Is this possible with ChartFX Lite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software FX Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 1 and 2) Are supported in Chart FX for >NET but not supported in Chart FX Lite. 3) You can select a dataset that has only the columns you want, otherwise you need to specify which columns you DON'T want using the DataType property. There is no other way. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Software FX Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 That is correct, unfortunately, we have discussed this issue and plan to address it in a future version by changing the indexer to use names (as well as positions). This will also allow to bind to business objects where properties have names but no position. -- Regards, JC Software FX Support "Shannon" <user@host.com> wrote in message news:JvaZxVutEHA.2600@webserver3.softwarefx.com... > You have to specify the columns you don't want by number and cannot > specify by name correct? > > "SoftwareFX Support" <noreply@softwarefx.com> wrote in message > news:YlDwp2qtEHA.3560@webserver3.softwarefx.com... >>1 and 2) Are supported in Chart FX for >NET but not supported in Chart FX >>Lite. >> >> 3) You can select a dataset that has only the columns you want, otherwise >> you need to specify which columns you DON'T want using the DataType >> property.
