User (Legacy) Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Hi, I'm using Chart FX Client Server 5.1 in VB 6.0. If I go to the property page and then go to the Commands tab, I see a bunch of Available Commands (Open Chart, Save Chart, Print, ...) that I can put on a toolbar or menubar. Is there anyway that I can call these same commands from code? For example, I want to have my own menu with a selection that will let the user "Edit title". Is there a way to call this Command? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Hi, Most commands correspond to a certain API, others are context-dependent and can not be duplicated. For example: Print, 3D, etc, all correspond to properties and methods, white "Edit Title" is context-dependent command as it causes a different action depending on where you clicked. You can always customize the Chart FX menus and Toolbar to include your own commands. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted November 13, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Is there a good example on customizing a drop down menu? The manual eludes to doing this but I can't find a good explanation on how it is done. I want the user to be able to right-click anywhere on the chart and have a menu appear with mixture of already made commands and custom made commands. I went to the Commands tab on the property page and selected "Axis" as the User Interface Element. I selected the Available Commands that I want but I can't figure out how to create my own custom commands or rename the available commands. Is there a way to accomplish this?? Thanks!
