No Data Available


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

I have an chart that takes its data from a web service.... There's a slight

delay from the time the control appears to when the data is loaded, so I've

cleared the data in the chart as the default displays garbage data that

might confuse our users, when I do this it simply displays "No Data

Available".... which is fine I'd however I'd prefer to customise this text

to something like "Please wait loading data..." is there a way to do this ?

TIA

Yes. Any string displayed by Chart FX can be changed by changing the string

table.

This is mostly done when localizing Chart FX to another language but it can

also by used to change a particular string like in this case.

In particular the entry you will be interested in reads as follows:

NoData=No Data Available

To change this string, you use the SetMessageText method as follows:

chart1.SetMessageText("NoData","Please wait loading data...");

For a list of all possible string table entries, check out the documentation

on SetMessageText.

Thanks for the info however... I could not find any information regarding

the keys that can be passed to this method. A complete list of keys would

be very handy.

This is really a separate issue but our application uses a web service for

localisation (not satellite assemblies). So I have a need to

programmatically localise text displayed in chart fx, this SetMessageText

function might be ideal for that purpose.

OK....

There was no documentation for the keys in my local chartfx help however the

documentation on your web site does.

Thanks.
