User (Legacy) Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hello, There are several constants for the axis format which are not listed in the property page dialog box. For example, if I specify AF_CUSTOM, there is not a option for that in the dropdown box on the property page. How can I get this into the property page? Also, the minimum and maximum values are set based on this option. For example, if I want to represent the data using my own custom format, which is an engineering style. Small numbers do not get formatted properly because of the # of decimals that I want (3). This only works if it uses scientific. Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 A custom format requires for you to set the custom format string as well, so it can not be an option in the combo-box. If you want Scientific notation you can use AF_SCIENTIFIC, and you can always increase the number of decimals using the Decimals property (Axis object). -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted May 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 If this is the case, is there a way I can eliminate this combo box from the property page? If a user switches to the non-custom format, they can never get back to the custom format??

Software FX Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 The dialog will leave the Custom flag on if it was on. So you should be able to revert back to the original. Can you please explain the specific situation in which this is not working correctly. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted May 31, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 When you set an axis.format property to AF_CUSTOM, the dialog box shows a blank selection in the dropdown combo box. If you make a change, and apply it, you can never get back to the custom. Also, the blank selection should specify custom. In a specific example, if you specify an AF_CUSTOM format (because I want to override using the GetAxisLabel event, so I can create engineering format), and then say change it to Scientific using the dialog box, all of the units disappear, and if you then look at the dialog again, it will be under Date/Time, and no way to get back to Scientific even, though that is what I selected.

Software FX Posted June 6, 2002 Report Share Posted June 6, 2002 You should never assign Format = AF_CUSTOM, you assign format to a string, the WE (chart FX) turn on AF_CUSTOM but combined with another type (AF_NUMERIC, etc). This is the reason you are getting this problem, you are assigning format to an invalid value (AF_CUSTOM). -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
