Q: How Type and TypeMask are related? What is TypeProp?

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I am using Cfx4032.dll from C++ using #import.

1) When I tried to switch generating the PaintMarker events

on (by adding the CT_PAINTMARKER flag), I could not find the

the interface to the Type property. Instead, I did find the

TypeMask general property. Looking at the ChartFX_API.chm

documentation (version 9.7.2002), I did find both of the

properties documented. It seems that the content of both

documentation pages is very similar (but for example

CT_PAINTMARKER constant is negative for TypeMask and

positive for Type property). Is the TypeMask property the

newer replacement of the Type property?

2) When looking into Cfx4032.tli (generated as the result of

#import), I did find the interface methods for TypeProp

property:

  long IChartFX::GetTypeProp ( short nGallery )

  void IChartFX::PutTypeProp ( short nGallery, long pVal )

I did not find the property documented. Could you explain

the purpose of the property? Is it only experimental or can

it be used?

Thanks for your answer,

 Petr

Type is OBSOLETE, TypeMask is the new name.

When looking into Cfx4032.tli (generated as the result of

#import [in VC++ 6] of Cfx4032.dll -- version 5.0),

I did find the interface methods for TypeProp property:

  long IChartFX::GetTypeProp ( short nGallery )

  void IChartFX::PutTypeProp ( short nGallery, long pVal )

I did not find the property documented. Could you explain

the purpose of the property? Is it only experimental or can

it be used?

Thanks for your answer,

This property is not to be used, it is used by some of our extensions, it

was intentionally left undocumented. Do not use it.
