User (Legacy) Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 I am trying to place annotation objects onto a chart before the window is created and not having much luck. Specifically, it doesn't matter what I specify for Top and Left for the annotation object; when the chart window is created the annotation objects all show up at the chart area origin (that is, the bottom left corner; not the window origin at the top right.) If I choose the location of the annoation objects AFTER creating the window, everything works fine. My goal is to be able to create a series of charts in a windowless batch process (to be printed or directly exported to bitmaps) and use annotation text to display the date generated near the top left corner of each one. However, if I print or export a graph that I have not created in a window, the annotation objects again all default to the bottom left. In contrast, if I create a fixed legend box, I can specify it's location before creating the chart window and it will come up in the right place, and will also print in roughly the right place regardless of if I have ever created a window. This is the funationality I need from the annotation objects. (Using VC++,DLL) Andrew Pane --------------------------------------- Merak Projects Ltd.
