User (Legacy) Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 I'm displaying a chart with a series legend box whose .Docked property is set to TGFP_FLOAT. The form that the chart is on is being shown as modal in VB (it's a pop-up from another screen). When I run the application in the VB IDE, everything is fine. When I compile the app and run it, everything displays correctly, but if I try to click on the legend to move it, the computer just beeps. If I hide the legend (using the toolbar) and then re-display it, everything is fine and I can click on the legend box to move it (just like in the IDE). Any ideas on what's going on here?

Software FX Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 A modal dialog disables all windows when it is displayed. I think what you are experiencing is a timing problem. You must display the legend box AFTER the modal form is visible. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted March 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 I understand that, and that's what I was afraid of. I got around it by not showing the legend box until the Form_Activate event. My bigger concern is that this is the second problem I've had with ChartFX Client/Server that doesn't appear in the IDE but does when compiled. I know some of it may be VB related, but it doesn't give me a great feeling about the OCX. In this same project we use three other 3rd party OCXs and haven't experienced this difference in behavior with any of them.

Software FX Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 This is completely out of our control. You probably don't experience the same with other controls because they are much simpler and don't provide such a sophisticated user interface like Chart FX does. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
