Get Title.text

[User (Legacy)]

The API reference states that Chart.Titles "Allows you to set a title to the

top of a chart."

Is there any way to get the titles?  I've heard of read-only properties, but

this is the first write-only property I've come accross.

Dim titleline As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internet.Server.TitleDockable =

cfxDefault.Titles(1)

Dim strTitle As String = titleline.Text

strTitle is getting the original value of the title - ignoring any changes

the user has made.

Alternatively, is there any way to dis-allow the user from editing the

title?

1) How is this title being created, the tile property is not "write-only",

you can get the value back. I think you are asking for the wrong one though.

Like most arrays in .NET, the first title is Title[0].

2) You can customize the menus so that titles can't be edited. See

programmer's guide on "Tool Customization" for more details.

I create the title like this:

    'Set the title properties...

    Dim title As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internet.Server.TitleDockable

    Dim strTitleLine As String

    Dim intTitleLine As Integer = 0

    For Each strTitleLine In objHCMGServer.TableTitle

        title = cfxDefault.Titles(intTitleLine)

        title.Alignment = System.Drawing.StringAlignment.Center

        title.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 9,

System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular)

        title.Text = strTitleLine

        title.TextColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black

        title.LineGap = 2

        intTitleLine = intTitleLine + 1

    Next

I get the values back like this:

    Dim title As SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internet.Server.TitleDockable

    Dim strTitle As String()

    Dim intLines As Integer = 0

    ReDim strTitle(0)

    For Each title In cfxDefault.Titles

        If title.DockArea = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.DockArea.Top Then

            intLines += 1

            If strTitle.Length < intLines Then ReDim Preserve

strTitle(intLines)

            strTitle(intLines - 1) = title.Text

        End If

    Next

    Dim objHCMGServer As HCMGServer = Session("HCMGServer")

    objHCMGServer.TableTitle = strTitle

And this works fine ... unless the user has edited the titles.  The original

values of Titles gets returned.  It doesn't reflect the changes made by the

user.

But the user edits the title in the client, when do you ask for these titles

again ? in a postback ? can you please explain.

Yes, it's in a postback - a button the user presses to go from the graph

page to a table page.

So .. any changes the user makes to a graph aren't communicated back to the

server.  That makes sense .. I take it there really isn't a way to tell what

changes the user made to a graph (title, data table, .. anything)

Correct
