Converting from 5.5 to 6.2


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am converting from ChartFX 5.5 to ChartFX 6.2.

In our 5.5 implementation, we read a chart template file (.CHT). I have

converted those over manually to CHW files by recreating them in the Chart

Designer tool. I am unable to successfully import the template file with

the Import method.

Also, I am trying to use the GetHTMLTag command to produce the HTML to

reference the ChartFX client side ActiveX object with no luck. Does this

still work in 6.2?

I am using VB6.0 w/SP5 on a Windows XP SP2 machine.

Thank you,

Jeff Sanders

Can you please attach one of the templates you are trying to import along 

with the VB6 code you are using to import it?

About GetHtmlTag ...

GetHtmlTag cannot be used from a C++ (or VB) app, it is meant to be used

only from an ASP page. There are some assumptions in this method, that will

for example send the imgmap (if required) directly to the ASP.Response

object.

You can use the GetHtmlDataEx method that has the following signature

GetHtmlDataEx (VARIANT vWidth,VARIANT vHeight,VARIANT vTag,VARIANT

vData,VARIANT *pvMap,VARIANT *pvHtmlOutput)

The first 3 parameters are identical to the ones in GetHtmlTag.

vData allows you to specify the target location for the output (image, svg,

etc.). As of today it supports BSTR that represents the path of the file to

be generated.

pvMap will contain the img map (only for image output when URLs are

assigned).

pvHtmlOutput will contain the tag required to display the element. E.g.

"<img src="." >"
