Assigning Legend Labels

[User (Legacy)]

Hello, 

I've been trying to set legends to series with the following code: 

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) 

{ 

     ICfxSeriesPtr pSerie = m_pChartFX->Series->Item[nSerie+i]; 

     CString strLabel; 

     strLabel.Format("%s - %s", pSection->GetName(), (i==0) ? "Major" : 

"Minor"); 

     pSerie->Legend = (const char *)strLabel; 

} 

If I open a chart window all is well, the legend labels are there and 

everything works. But after I close the window, I cannot create another 

chart window. The function CreateControl fails. 

BUT! 

if I execute the following code: 

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) 

{ 

     ICfxSeriesPtr pSerie = m_pChartFX->Series->Item[nSerie+i]; 

     pSerie->Legend = (const char *)pSection->GetName(); 

} 

I can create and close as many windows as I like, CreateControl never fails. 

Both the strLabel and the pSection->GetName() result in a CString object, so 

there's no difference there. At first I thought that the solution was in the 

scope of the variables, as pSection->GetName() is permanently active. So I 

created a static array of CString objects and used that to format the string 

and used that for the legend. Same difference. 

Then I used the CString::AllocSysString() which creates a BSTR object. No 

difference. 

And at the moment I'm out of options, but running against a deadline. 

Does anybody have a clue? 

Thanks!
