Re: Question about information saved in a CFX Template

[User (Legacy)]

Good afternoon! 

I worked with this for a while and it seemed to now save anything more than 

just a normal template (which from your reply is what it does).  I want to 

save information on Axis steps (intervals for major and minor tick marks), 

marker style/frequency/type, scale max/min/units, etc.  It does not seem to 

save this information in the template file.  Is this information stored 

somewhere? 

Also when I load in a template using: 

 m_pChartFX->FileMask = (CfxFileMask) (m_pChartFX->FileMask 

  | FMASK_COLORS  | FMASK_ELEMENTS | FMASK_EXTENSIONS | FMASK_FONTS 

  | FMASK_GENERAL  | FMASK_LABELS  | FMASK_MULTI  | FMASK_PRINTERINFO 

  | FMASK_SCALE  | FMASK_TITLES  | FMASK_TOOLS); 

 char tempfile[255]; 

 strcpy(tempfile, "C:\\programs\\formattest.chd"); 

 m_pChartFX->Import(CHART_CFXOLETEMPLATE, tempfile); 

 m_pChartFX->Refresh(); 

where tempfile was a previously saved format with the same filemask, i 

noticed that the load does not change the chart 

at all.  For example, I would save the chart template to the tempfile name 

and then change the font and size of the Y Axis.  When I went back and 

loaded the saved file, the Axis did not change back to the previous font and 

style.  The same would occur when I would change the Axis step interval 

(from auto to 1.0).  On the flip side, if I saved the whole chart (including 

the data) using the tool bar, the information I wanted to save would be 

saved (except for the Axis Label font style, but the other options are 

saved).  This seems to be that the save all data on the toolbar uses the 

file mask, but saving the template does not.  Is this a bug? 

Thanks in Advance!
