User (Legacy) Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 I have an app that my users can design a chart and add it to a scheduler program that I have. The scheduler program is unattended execution so I need to do things without user intervention. What I am looking to do is make sure that the data editor is completely visible and the chart size stays the same before I export it as a metafile. Is there a way to do this? I have attached a chart that was saved as a metafile and inserted it into MS Word. Notice that the data editor is not completely visible.

Software FX Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Simply do: ChartFX1.DataEditorObj.SizeToFit -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted October 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 The height works but not the width. Here is an example.

Software FX Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 The width is enough as it is in your picture. We do not expand the cells bigger than then need to be. SizeToFit finds the Minimum size that's enough to fit all data. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted October 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 I am not sure that I understand your response. There are 14 columns that are not showing in the data editor. Notice that the data editor ends at 2001-3-7 but the chart ends at 2002-4-11 . I need all columns to show. Is there a way to make sure that all columns are shown?

Software FX Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 I was looking at the first picture. In the second picture there is no room for more columns, the data editor can not be bigger than the whole chart. There is no function that will re-size the chart based on the required size for the data editor. In this case the chart would need to be huge, you may want to consider to export to an OLE Object instead of a Metafile or Bitmap, this way you will have scroll bars available to navigate through the chart and data editor. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

User (Legacy) Posted October 3, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Does the computer that will be opening the file, that has the OLE object embedded in it, need anything installed on it?

Software FX Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Yes, they will need the OLE component and Chart FX DLL or OCX. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
