Can I disable Stacked Option

[User (Legacy)]

I want to prevent my visitors from modifying the "stacked" property (through

Right-Click , Properties, General Tab , Stacked ).

The problem is that I have annotations that keep their same Y-coordinate

based on the scaling of the Chart's Y - axis.  Well, these are headers, and

they should remain above the graph.  The fundamental problem is that the

coordinate system of annotations is all not documented.

Ideally, you guys at softwarefx would have addressed my earlier post, but

since you seemed intent on ignoring it, I am asking for a simpler solution

to prevent my company from looking like morons because of our chart package.

Just for reference, here is my old post from 3/5/2002 which you ignored:

I can't figure out this coordinate system of the annotation objects.

I want to put something in a certain spot relative to the upper left corner

of the ActiveX object.

If I try to put these text boxes here :

      set r1 = AnnotX.Add(OBJECT_TYPE_TEXT)

      r1.Text = "X"

      r1.Top = 0

      r1.Left = 75

      r1.height = 15

      r1.width = 100

      r1.AllowModify = false

      r1.AllowMove = false

      r1.Font.Size = 7

      r1.BkColor = Chart_Transparent

      r1.Color = llForegroundColor

      r1.Align = LA_RIGHT Or LA_TOP

      set r1 = AnnotX.Add(OBJECT_TYPE_TEXT)

      r1.Text = "Y"

      r1.Top = 0

      r1.Left = 175

      r1.height = 15

      r1.width = 100

      r1.AllowModify = false

      r1.AllowMove = false

      r1.Font.Size = 7

      r1.BkColor = Chart_Transparent

      r1.Color = llForegroundColor

      r1.Align = LA_LEFT Or LA_TOP

You would think that the two text boxes would be touching eachother (since

the X is right justified and the Y is left justified,

and the Y starts at where the X should end up).

But they aren't touching eachother.

This coordinate system doesn't seem to be reliable across different size

charts.

Another example of this is when I use the following code to generate

annotations

      Dim iii, iiileft,iiitop

      Dim jjj

      For iii = 0 to 10

      For jjj = 0 to 8

      set r1 = AnnotX.Add(OBJECT_TYPE_TEXT)

      iiileft = iii * 100

      iiitop = jjj * 100

      r1.Text = "(" & iiileft & "," & iiitop & ")"

      r1.Top = iiitop

      r1.Left = iiileft

      r1.height = 100

      r1.width = 100

      r1.AllowModify = false

      r1.AllowMove = false

      r1.Font.Size = 7

      r1.BkColor = Chart_Transparent

      r1.Color = llForegroundColor

      r1.Align = LA_LEFT Or LA_TOP

      next ' jjj

      next ' iii

If my chart is 253 high by 778 wide, then I can see the point labeled

"(900,800)"

but if my chart is 389 wide (and 253 high) , then I can see the point

"(1000,800)"

This definitely isn't pixels .... so is there some way to translate this

coordinate system

so I can count on the width of the chart being

measured in the same coordinates that I am placing my annotations with, and

the width

of the annotation is measured in the same coordinates as the left method?

This fits in when I have the size of my chart set to
