User (Legacy) Posted September 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hi again! Another question: Currently I can set chart1.InsideColor = Color.Transparent If I try it with chart1.BackColor then I get an exception saying it would be an invalid property value. But I really need transparencies because the background image of my form should be visible through the chart component. What can I do? Thanks!

Software FX Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 The Chart control itself can not be transparent. This is due to a limitation in GDI+ where transparency of container controls is not supported. Chart FX is a container control. In the Full version, we provide methods for setting a background image and even give you the ability to draw in the chart background using GDI+. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
