User (Legacy) Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 (reposting in this group, because there was no answer in the beta newsgroup for a week now) Hi, I'm evaluating CS62 as an upgrade to our existing 5.x chart and have come across problems when serialising the charts. It seems as though many properties of the charts aren't being serialised. A couple of really obvious ones are the titles of the chart and axes. We are using the chart inside an activereports ocx and we are setting the chart properties via C++. This has worked fine for all other activex controls (including the older version of ChartFX) For example, we are setting the title with code like this: m_pChart->Titles->Item[0]->PutText(str); (where str is a BSTR) This does take effect in the chart and we can see the new title. If we save the chart (via activereports), then when we bring it back this title is now blank. I have noticed, that SOME properties do get saved - but these all seem to be the simple properties that are accessible via the normal VB designer (eg gallery, shapes, basic colours, etc). It seems the complex properties like titles, series and axis are not saved. Cheers, Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
