looking for info on COD_* constants

[User (Legacy)]

I have searched both the programmer guid help file as well as the 

general help file, and I can't seem to find any information on the 

COD_* constants used for the OpenDataEx and CloseData examples. 

for example, I was trying to find the order of the last two parameters, 

using # of points, and # of series. The only way I could find out 

any information as to what to pass for those two parameters, was in (one 

of ) the example files. 

I searched for constants, cod_, and other relatively obvious search 

parameters, and I kept getting back to the OpenDataEx method, which has 

an example there, but not using the other  constants. I also found in 

the ChartFX.h file this list: 

 // OpenData and CloseData Actions 

 COD_ALLOCHIDDEN  = 0x8000, 

 COD_SCROLLLEGEND = 0x4000, 

 COD_NOINVALIDATE = 0x2000, 

 COD_SMOOTH   = 0x1000, 

 COD_REMOVE   = 0x0800, 

 COD_ADDPOINTS  = 0x0400, 

 COD_INSERTPOINTS = 0x0040, 

 COD_REALTIMESCROLL = 0x0300,  // INCLUDES COD_REALTIME 

 COD_REALTIME  = 0x0100, 

 COD_RESETMINMAX  = 0x0080, 

 //Number of series/points 

 COD_UNKNOWN   = -1, 

 COD_UNCHANGE  = 0, 

of which I'm curious as to what they do, as one or more of these may 

help me make a choice in how to operate on the data, etc etc 

thanks!
