User (Legacy) Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Is it possible to use the ChartFX 5.5 Internet controls in a VB6 desktop application? I would like to use it to create a Jpeg image, lke this: chart.export 3,"c:\temp\CFXexp.cfx" stringChartPath = chart.GetHtmlTag(1000,400,"Jpeg") When I try it, I get "Method 'GetHtmlTag' of object 'IChartFX' failed." Thanks! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 It is not really designed for that plus it can not be redistributed. Chart FX Client Server can export the chart to a BMP. There are numerous tools out there that will convert a BMP to a Jpeg and many other image formats. Some of them are even free. I suggest that to build a Desktop application you use Chart FX Client server and use one of these tools to generate a Jpeg. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I don't want to redistribute it. I want to place the chart generation functions in a VB com object, not in the ASP pages. (That is what I meant when I erroneously stated 'desktop' application - sorry). I want the com object to return the location of the Jpeg or bitmap to the ASP page.

Software FX Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Ok. Then it is fine. GetHtmlTag however expects the chart to be embedded within an ASP page so that it can obtain information from the context such as virtual directories, etc. If this communication can not be established, the component default to what says in CfxSrv.ini. In particular, you may be getting a problem with the temporary files folder, check the following entry in your CfxSrv.ini (located in the Config folder of wherever Chart FX Internet was installed) [Output] Absolute=<full path for your temporary directory> Check the return value of GetHtmlTag as well (it is a string) it will tell you more about the problem. I tried the following code in an empty VB project with a reference to the Chart FX Server Control: Dim chart As New ChartFX chart.Gallery = AREA s = chart.GetHtmlTag("100", "100", "Jpeg") -- FP Software FX, Inc.
