User (Legacy) Posted September 25, 2002 Report Share Posted September 25, 2002 I have been testing a current application for future migration to the ColdFusion MX platform and am rapidly coming to the conclusion that ColdFusion MX and Chartfx cannot work together. Currently, we have an application that works fine in ColdFusion 5, which sometime this next fiscal year will need to be migrated to ColdFusion MX. Unfortunately, none of the charting code I have tested works correctly on ColdFusion MX. This is even after applying that latest service packs to MX and Chartfx. Typically, It gives some sort of bogus "Method Name Not Found" error. As an illustration, let me give an example. I took the code from one of your examples in the support site titled "Changing Fonts" below: <!--- Include this file so we can use all the ChartFX constants ---> <CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="/Include/CfxIE.cfi"> <!--- Create the ChartFX Server Object ---> <CFOBJECT ACTION="Create" NAME="Chart" CLASS="ChartFX.WebServer"> <!--- Set the UserAgent property to allow browser detection ---> <CFSET Chart.UserAgent=#HTTP_USER_AGENT# > <!---The samples look better in white---> <CFSET Chart.RgbBk=16777215> <CFSET Chart.Rgb2DBk=16777215> <CFSET Chart.Chart3D=FALSE> <CFSET Chart.Gallery = BAR> <CFSET Chart.AxesStyle = CAS_FLATFRAME> <!---Change Y axis Font---> <CFSET Axis=Chart.GetArrayProp("Item",AXIS_Y,Chart.Axis)> <CFSET Font = Axis.Font> <CFSET Font.Name = "Courier New"> <CFSET Font.Size = 8> <CFSET Font.Bold = True> <!---Change Top Title Font---> <CFSET Font = Chart.TopFont> <CFSET Font.Name = "Verdana"> <CFSET Font.Size = 10> <CFSET Chart.SetArrayProp("Title",CHART_TOPTIT,"Chart Title")> <CFOUTPUT> #Chart.GetHtmlTag("500","350")# </CFOUTPUT> Running this code generates the error below: An exception occurred during method selection process for Method NAME The cause of this exception was that there are no methods with the specified method name and argument types. Please check your function and try again. The Error Occurred in C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\Chartfx_test\font_demo.cfm: line 27 25 : <CFSET Axis=Chart.GetArrayProp("Item",AXIS_Y,Chart.Axis)> 26 : <CFSET Font = Axis.Font> 27 : <CFSET Font.Name = "Courier New"> 28 : <CFSET Font.Size = 8> 29 : <CFSET Font.Bold = True> If you comment out the offending line, it will just error out again on the next one and so on. I have found several properties that will produce this same error message. Admittedly, the font one is not a show stopper, but not being able to set axis mins and maxs is. So, right now I am currently at a loss as far as how to proceed and am curious for any input softwarefx support would have on the issue of ColdFusion MX support.

Software FX Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Hello, We just published an article on our support web site that explains how to properly set a font in ChartFX Internet 5.5 using ColdFusion.

User (Legacy) Posted September 30, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Ok, that fixes the fonts issue. But I have several other properties that just are not working correctly. For example: Setting Axis Maximum Values Setting Axis Minimum Values Setting Axis Step Values Setting the position of the series legend box (ie SerLegBoxObj.Docked - TGFP_Bottem) Are there going to be articles on these as well? Is the designer application going to be changed to generate code more compatible with coldfusion mx in the future? Also, is there somewhere we can get additional numeric values for fonts? There are very few in the standard includes.
