Re: Getting, putting palette has no effect

[User (Legacy)]

I was able to reproduce it in the MFC example application that comes with

ChartFX 98.

In the "Palettes and Patterns" dialog, I modified the "Spring" palette radio

button click handler to be:

void CCfxPalPatt::OnSpring()

{

    m_pChartFX->Palette = "Spring";

     _bstr_t bstr = m_pChartFX->Palette;

}

Ideally I'd hope that bstr would get set to "Spring", but in this example,

it gets set to "", and empty string.
