Activating FE programmatically


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

I am evaluating ChartFX FE .NET beta version using the ChartFX Developers

Studio. I am developing in Visual Studio with VB.NET. I am unable to

activate ChartFX FE programmatically. I have the following declarations and

statements in my code:

Dim ChartFX1 as SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Charts

Dim FinExt As FinancialCharts

FinExt = ChartFX1.AddExtension("CfxFE.Financial")

However, I get a message that AddExtension is not a method of ChartFX1.

Please help.

Thanks,

Appups,

Sorry, but you have me completely confused.

There is no "Charts" object in the SoftwareFX.ChartFX namespace

Neither is there a FinancialCharts object????

The easiest way to see this in action is to add the chart.dll and

chartfx.winforms.dll to your Toolbox at design time.

Drop a chart then drop the Financial. THEN in the properties window for

Financial Assign the Chart property to Chart1.

Howver, if you want to create a Chart with FE programattically here is a

snippet:

<SNIPPET>

Dim Financial1 As New SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Financial.WinForms.Financial

Dim Chart1 As New SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Chart

'

'Chart1

'

Chart1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(32, 24)

Chart1.Name = "Chart1"

Chart1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(456, 296)

'

'Financial1 HERE THE FINANCIAL EXTENSION ATTACHES TO THE CHART (which

internally calls AddExtension)

'

Financial1.Chart = Chart1

'Finally add the Chart to your form

Controls.Add(Chart1)

</SNIPPET>

On top of this you need to reference the following assemblies in your

project:

chartfx.dll, chartfx.base.dll, chartfx.borders.dll,

chartfx.categbar.winforms.dll, AND chartfx.winforms.dll

For webforms the dlls are just the internet equivalent.

Hope this helps.
