Strange problems related to X axis labels and tick marks

[User (Legacy)]

Francisco, 

Once again, I am using VB 6.0 with version 4.0.16.0 Chart FX. 

Another issue I am trying to resolve: 

I am running an unlimited real time strip chart (2d) with 2 series which 

has a transparent 

background, a JPEG picture for a backdrop and is scrollable.  The chart 

runs fine and all the labels 

appear correctly while the chart is running and displaying real time 

data.  Now, when I stop 

the chart I switch from scrollable to non-scrollable so the user can see 

the entire data plot.  At 

this point I am also re-formatting the X axis and filling in time 

labels.  I am manually spinning 

through a loop and assigning strings to each one of the X axis lables 

because I could not 

get the ChartFx AF_TIME format to step properly using the LabelValue() 

property, or 

by setting the Min and Max time and specifying a STEP.  Also, in certain 

cases I need to 

display tenth of a second time resolution so I have to format strings 

manually, not a problem. 

Below is the VB code I'm using to assign labels: 

   ' Set the first label to the time the chart was started (sTime = 

"6:00:03 PM" as an example) 

   LabelVal = sTime 

   ' Loop through and assign time labels to the major tick marks on the 

X axis (there are 10 tick marks) 

   For j = 0 To CInt(X_AXIS_LABEL_COUNT) - 1 

      chart.Legend(j) = LabelVal 

      temp = CStr(DateAdd("s", secondsBetweenIntervals, LabelVal)) 

      LabelVal = temp 

   Next j 

However, the strange thing is that certain labels appear blank on the X 

axis.  The label 

which dissapears changes at random...sometimes it's the second, 

sometimes the fourth, 

sometimes the sixth...you get the point.  I've checked the string I'm 

assigning to the Label 

and it is definitely valid.  Also, I am calling this same routine to 

fill in X axis lables for a different, 

non real time chart and it works perfectly.  Also, I would like for the 

major tick marks 

to be lined up with the Zero line on the X axis.  As you can see from 

the screenshot I included, 

the first tick mark has a slight offset from the zero line. 

As always, any suggestions greatly appreciated, 

Gary
