Hello! I've got a x86 Visual Studio 2008 project using ChartFX on a 32-bit system. Everything is working fine here. No problems concerning the license. Now I want to compile the whole project with x64 settings on the same 32-bit system. To test the x64 stuff, I copied the project, switched the compiler settings and rebuild the project. Everythings seems to work fine but when I run my testproject on the x64 test machine, I get an invalid license exception. Why??? Has someone an idea??? Thanks a lot in advance, Tim.

Hi Frank, for other reasons I had to install XP Mode and Virtual PC on my windows 7 system. So now I am using Visual Studio 2008 again for this special project. And that's ok as this is definitly my last project with ChartFX... Greetings and good luck, Tim.

Hello! I've got a Chart FX 7 licence and just wanted to install Chart FX 7 on my new computer with Visual Studio 2010. The setup tells me that "Visual Studio 2005 or above is required" and little down below it is written "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 needs to be installed prior to the installation of this product". How can I install Chart FX 7 on a system with Visual Studio 2010? Or do I now have to install Visual Studio 2008 again only to use Chart FX? Greetings, Tim.

Hello. I have a pie chart with a truncated label or better said, the label is totally clipped! The problem now is, that the black line pointing to that label is still rendered... - is there a way to deny this? Thanks a lot in advance! Greetings, Tim.

Hello juanZ, thanks for answering and taking your time! That was the information I needed! Greetings and a nice day, Tim.

Hello. I have a very urgent question! I have a licensed copy of chart fx for winforms. (the bundle) Using a chart on a regular winform everything is ok. But trying to embed a chart in a WindowsFormsHost I get a "Couldn't get Run Time license for 'ChartFX.WInForms.Chart" ... on a "customer system". Is it not allowed to host WinForm Charts in a WPF app? Is this a bug in the licening system? Is there something I have to do to use it in a WPF app? Any help and/ or information would be great! Thanks a lot, Tim.

I've found the following post: Re: How can I decrease the space between legend box items (series labels) ? Answer: This spacing can not be controlled. Is this still true? Is there really no way to just put these labels side by side without space??? Thanks a lot, Tim.

Hello. If I display the legendbox and set the DockStyle to Top and also set a title for the chart and set the DockStyle to Top, the legendbox is displayed above the title!!! How can I change that??? The title should be the first element! TitleDockable td = new TitleDockable("My title test - First element in the chart!!!"); td.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;td.Dock = DockArea.Top; td.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center; this.Titles.Add(td);// ... this.LegendBox.Dock = DockArea.Top; The only workaround I see is to set the legendbox.Titles but there is a problem with the alignment. So I really hope there is a way to tell the chart title to be the first element! Thanks really a lot for any help and/ or suggestions! Greetings, Tim.

Hello everyone! Has anyone tried to create a custom border for a chart control? Or is it possible anyhow? So, I don't want to use for example: new ImageBorder(ImageBorderType.Slide) but something like new CustomBorder() I was trying to implement the IAdornment, IPersistable, IBorderAdornment interfaces but it does not seem to work as expected. Unfortunately, I didn't find any information concerning the creation of custom borders. Has anyone some more information? Any suggestions? Greetings and thanks, Tim.

Hello JuanC, thanks for the quick response! You lead me in the right direction. But three questions remain: 1) How to set this using Expresion Blend? If I set there, the setting seems to be ignored?!?! 2) How to control the "thickness" of the bar? 3) And how to change the style of the thin lines? Is this possible in the beta version? Will it be possible in the release version? Thanks a lot again and a have a nice day, Tim.

Hello there, how can I change the design of the candlestick gallery? For example changing the colors of the "open-close"-Box from black to blue; perhaps using a linear brush... Thanks a lot for any hints, Tim.
