Formatting Labels w/ JavaScript

[User (Legacy)]

Hi ,

I'm trying to change the X-Axis label format in JavaScript, but am having no

luck.  When the chart is generated in VB, the datetime format for the chart

I'm working on defaults to yyyy-MM-dd, ie

chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"

In JavaScript, I'm trying:

myChart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm";

OR

myChart.Axis.Item(2).LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm";

but nothing happens (no errors or nothing).

Is there a trick to changing the label formats in JavaScript?

Thanks,

The following code works for me (JScript):

Chart1.AxisX.LabelsFormat.Format = 5; // Date

Chart1.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"

Notice that if you are using MainClient = true, the object in the object tag

is a "wrapper" not the chart itself. To access the chart use the "Chart"

property as follows:

Chart1.Chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.Format = 5;

Chart1.Chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"

Alright, I must still be doing something wrong.  I'll try giving you a little more detail.

This is the VB code I use to initially set the date format:

chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.Format = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.AxisFormat.Date

chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd"

After the chart is generated, I have some buttons that can be used to further customize the chart.  One is to toggle the hours and minutes on and off.  The JavaScript I use to handle this is:

function toggleTimeLabels (on)

{

    if (on)

    {

        profile.myChart.Chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.Format = 8;

        profile.myChart.Chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm";

    }//if 

    else

    {

        profile.myChart.Chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.Format = 5;

        profile.myChart.Chart.AxisX.LabelsFormat.CustomFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd";

    }

}//toggleTimeLabels

The JavaScript executes without error, but the only thing that happens on my chart, is one more date label gets added on the left hand side of the chart (pushing the others over at the same time), but no hours/minutes actually show up on the labels.  I know the date/time values that I'm initially using to populate the chart contain time values.

What type of date objects should I be passing to the chart?  System.DateTime

objects or SqlTypes.SqlDateTime objects, etc. ?

I found my problem.  Didn't realize the the values for the X-Axis need to be

of 'XValue' datatype and not 'Label' datatype.
