User (Legacy) Posted April 28, 2000 Report Share Posted April 28, 2000 Hi, I am using Cfx4032.dll (version 4.0.16.0) in the C++ (VC++ ver. 6.0) application (ATL, no MFC). I am filling the series legend using the code similar to the following: std::string sLabel; ... sLabel = "value obtained by the code in a loop"; ... spChartFX->GetSeries()->GetItem(nSerieIndex) ->PutLegend((LPSTR)sLabel.c_str()); Later, I do allow displaying the legend using a command: spChartFX->PutSerLegBox(true); The problem is that the strings are in the Czech language and the implicit font uses "Western" charset. It is possible to change it to "Central European" manually, using context menu -- Font... -- Script. How can I do the same programmatically? I tried to use PutFonts(), but it uses only combination of the family, weight, and size (only the size is used in the following example which should result in Arial, normal, 10 points): { using namespace ChartfxLib; spChartFX->PutFonts(CHART_LEGENDFT, static_cast<enum CfxFontAttr>(10)); } The problem with the script remains. However, when I use PutFonts(..., ... CF_COURIER | 10), (probably any other than Arial), then also the script is set. I do use Windows NT 4.0 English version with Czech regional setting. My other question is related to the need of explicit cast when I try to put the legend string stored in C++ std::string -- look at the command ...->PutLegend((LPSTR)sLabel.c_str()); (used above). The problem is that the compiler complains that it cannot convert (const char *) -- which is the result of c_str() method -- into (char *) -- which is required by PutLegend(). Is there any reason to use char * instead of const char *? If not, then it would be nice to change the interface as the std::string is quite std for me ;-) Thanks in advance, Petr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
