To questions about ToolBarObj and Personalizing a Chart

- On the ToolBarObj

I can disable the Print button on the ToolBar with : 

mainChart.Commands[(int) SoftwareFX.ChartFX.CommandID.Print].Enabled = 

false; But I want to hide it and turn it back on later.  I havn't found the 

the Visible attribute to turn it off... How is this done ... Do I have to 

remove it from the toolbar an add it again when I wnat to use it?

- Personalizing a Chart

Is it possible to get the XML code for in Personalizing a Chart int a string

varible.  I am using one Settings.xml file for all my settings in my

program.  Many charts can be opened in program. What I need is to get the

personalizing code for all the users charts and put it ino this file

(settings.xml) and then when I open my program again I need to restore this

code from my settings file and open the charts as it was when my user closed

it? Is this possible?

Thank you very much

Best regards

I use the Perzonilised options to save settings for my chart in my own 

settings file. (I used the snippet above, thank you very much)  It seems to 

me that the PriceStudies and TechnicalStudies does not save in the 

personlized xml-file.  What is the best way to save the chart with the 

financial studies(panes)?

Another question

I have a problem with TechnicalStudies and PriceStudies and price studies 

when I change the dates in my chart. Do I have to recalculate the 

PriceStudies and TechnicalStudies when I change the dates or..?

In my program I bind the data with the data and choose certain dates.  If I 

open A technical studie f.ex. MACD or Volume and change dates after that 

then I have a crash.  I use the same process to set upp the chart and bind 

the data if I change the Dates.

The Error:

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

Parameter name: Index was out of range.  Must be non-negative and less than 

the size of the collection.

No worry for the delay, just thanks for the answer.

I have a problem when I use the code you gave me, regarding that I want to 

save my Technical studies in my settings file.

My code is like this :

private string ExportChartSettings()

{

    mainChart.TemplateMask |= FileMask.Extensions | FileMask.Tools;

    MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();

    mainChart.Export(FileFormat.BinaryTemplate,memStream);

    string sTemplate = System.Convert.ToBase64String(memStream.ToArray());

    memStream.Close();

    return sTemplate;

}

private void ImportChartSettings( string sTemplate )

{

   MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();

    byte[] buffer = Convert.FromBase64String( sTemplate );

    MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream( buffer );

    mainChart.Import(stream);

    memStream.Close();

}

If I try to export my settings everything works fine, and I get my 

settingstring. Then I try to recover my settings with ImportChartSettings I 

get this error::

Do you have any Idea what is going on here?

Index was outside the bounds of the array.

Yes.

You need to set the TemplateMask when you read (Import) as well.

The code should be exactly the same just replace export with import and also 

you will need to seek to the beginning of the stream(which you are doing 

when you create a new memorystream from your buffer).

Thank you very much for your time and help.

The problem her is :

If I format my chart .. add some buttons on the toolbar and remove others, 

then it will crash.

If I run import and export without formating the chart everything seems to 

work??

Any suggestion?

Best regards

Kristjan

Hello Charles

One question

When I am saving my chart settings (with this code below) the lengt of the 

string is from 70K to 170K,  is it possible to reduce the size?

I only need to save general settings and the extension part.  Should I use 

the flags and wich one?

Can I disable some features with this code?

mainChart.TemplateMask &= ~FileMask.Data | ~FileMask.DataBind;

Best regards
