Bitmaps as Background and on Bars...

[Software FX]

Hi

Could anyone give me an exemple how to use the OleCreatePictureIndirect

together with ChartFX, so that I can put picture in the background and onto

bars.

Thanx, ChrisJ

Dear Chris,

Will you please change your sing-in name, it reads "Software FX" and it may

lead people to think that you work for Software FX.

Thank you in advance.

About your question:

Using MFC:

 CPictureHolder Picture;

 Picture.CreateFromBitmap(IDB_BITMAP1);

 m_pChartFX->PutRefBkPicture(Picture.GetPictureDispatch());

Not using MFC:

 PICTDESC pd;

 IPictureDisp *pPicture;

 pd.cbSizeofstruct = sizeof(pd);

 pd.picType = PICTYPE_BITMAP;

 pd.bmp.hbitmap = LoadBitmap(g_hInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_BITMAP1));

 pd.bmp.hpal = NULL;

 OleCreatePictureIndirect(&pd,IID_IPictureDisp,TRUE,(LPVOID *) &pPicture);

 m_pChartFX->PutRefBkPicture(pPicture);
