How Do I Change The Colour Of A Box In A Legend Box?

[User (Legacy)]

Hello!

I have used code to colour my chart and now wish to create a legend box for

it.  I have used the code below to get 4 legends to appear in the box

cfxChart1.clearlegend(chart_legend)

cfxChart1.Legend(0)="Mon-Fri Units"

cfxChart1.Legend(1)="All other units"

cfxChart1.Legend(2)="Evening units"

cfxChart1.Legend(3)="Night units"

This code works ok, the snag is that all of the colour boxes in the legend

box appear as the same colour.  How can I get them to appear as the 4

seperate colours I require?  The only correctly coloured box is the first

one.  A rapid reponse would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

The following code (in Delphi) works with the ChartFX 98 component but fails

with the ChartFX IE version that I am using

ChartFX1.clearlegend(chart_legend);

ChartFX1.Legend[nPROFCOLOR] := 'All Other Units (kW)';

ChartFX1.Legend[nWeekendPROFCOLOR] := 'Weekend Units (kW)';

ChartFX1.Legend[nMonToFriPeakProfcolor] := 'Mon-Fri Units (kW)';

ChartFX1.Legend[nEveProfcolor] := 'Evening Units (kW)' ;

ChartFX1.Legend[nNightProfcolor] := 'Night Units (kW)';

ChartFX1.Legend[nEstProfcolor] := 'Estimated Units (kW)';

ChartFX1.LegendBoxObj.SkipEmpty := True;

ChartFX1.LegendBoxObj.docked:=258{TGFP_BOTTOM};

ChartFX1.LegendBox := True;

ChartFX1.serLegBox := false;

Where nProfColor, etc are all Delphi colour constants such as clRed, clBlue,

etc

You need to set MultipleColors = True or use the Series Legend instead of

the Values legend.

Neither of these approaches work.  Any other ideas?  My revised code is

below

  cfxChart1.MultipleColors=True

  cfxChart1.SerLeg(0)="Mon-Fri Units"

  cfxChart1.SerLeg(1)="All other units"

  cfxChart1.SerLeg(2)="Evening units"

  cfxChart1.SerLeg(3)="Night units"

  cfxChart1.LegendBoxObj.SkipEmpty=True

  cfxChart1.serLegBox = True

  cfxChart1.LegendBox = False

You must be doing something else, maybe allocating the array of colors

somewhere else in your code. The piece of code that you sent me works fine

in a default chart, you can try starting from the scratch.

So the problem that you are having is not with this code. Check the rest of

your code, specifically check the calls to OpenDataEx.
