Customizing the "Properties" Property Pages

[User (Legacy)]

Hi All,

In my implementation of Chart FX I can't allow the user to choose any color

they want.  Instead they can only choose from a set of predefined colors.

To make this happen I need to customize the property pages that come up when

the user chooses Properties...  Is there a way to do this?  I thought of

making my own set of property pages appear instead but I would like the 3D

page to appear also.  Trying to make my own version of that would be

difficult.  Is there a way to add that page to my own?  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ben

Chart FX Supports ISupportProperty Pages, you can ask for this interface,

retrieve the pages you need and add them to your property own frame.

ISupportPropertyPages is a standard COM Interface.

Thanks for the responce.  I assume you mean IPropertyPages instead.  I

couldn't find anything on ISuppertPropertyPages.  Using what I found in MSDN

and on the web I've written this code.  But it causes an unhandled expection

error in the CFX4032.dll when I make the call to OleCreatePropertyFrame().

I'm using the trial version of ChartFX and I was wondering if that was the

problem.  Can you find anything wrong with this code?  m_pChartFX is a

IChartFXPtr.

Thanks,

Ben

void CChartTestDlg::OnButton1()

{

 HRESULT hr;

 CAUUID pages;

 CComPtr<IPropertyPage> pPropertyPage;

 CString csTitle = "Title";

 CComPtr<ISpecifyPropertyPages> pStockPage;

 hr = m_pChartFX->QueryInterface(IID_ISpecifyPropertyPages, (void

**)&pStockPage);

 if (SUCCEEDED(hr))

  hr = pStockPage->GetPages(&pages);

 if (SUCCEEDED(hr))

  hr = OleCreatePropertyFrame(GetSafeHwnd(), 0, 0, csTitle.AllocSysString(),

1, (IUnknown**)&m_pChartFX, pages.cElems, pages.pElems, 0L, 0L, NULL);

}
