User (Legacy) Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Is it possible to change the color of the various text (labels, title, etc.) in a graph in the VB6 IDE? Isn't is easier for a developer if as much as possible can be done without coding? I use ChartFX Client Server 5.0 A second question. When I select the 'edit' function after right-clicking in the IDE on a chart, there is nothing that can be edited. I thought that, for example, it would be possible to change the margins between the graph itself and the edge of the ChartFX object (in the VB IDE again). Have I inadvertently disabled this edit function? I know it is possible to change the numeric values in the Properties window, but I thought that straight dragging was also possible. Thanks for your help, Henk Borsje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 1) Yes. Using the property pages you can change the titles. The Axis-Labels and Series Labels are considered part of the data and as such are not saved at design time. 2) Yes. When you select "Edit" you basically activate the chart and can now work with it as it you were at run-time, you can right-click and a menu will come out, you can go to the property pages, resize the chart area, etc. However all the settings that disable any of this behavior at run-time will also disable them in "Edit mode". So for example, if using the properties window you set AllowResize to False, then you won't be able to re-size the chart are neither at run-time nor during "Edit mode". -- FP Software FX, Inc.

Software FX Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 I forgot to mention: From the Edit mode, you can Right-Click on the Axis or Title and change the color. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User (Legacy) Posted June 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 There must be something different with one or more settings in my PC. I create a new project, standard form and add ChartFX Client Server control. I add one line chart with default properties. In the properties window I left the allowedit, allowdrag and allowresize all set to True. But the edit functions that I do see when running my application don't show up in the IDE environment after I select edit mode. Any idea what I must do to solve this problem? I do remember that I was able to do the functions you mention when I just started using ChartFX, but they are not working now. I use a legitimate copy of ChartFX Client Server 5.0 The 'About' box says that the product is licensed to: * NOT LICENSED * * NOT LICENSED * The additional information gives as location: \ The expected serial number and some license string are given (begins with 4 a's). Sfxbar.dll 1.0.20.0 Cfx4032.ocx 5.0.9.0 Cfx4032.dll 5.0.10.3 Cfx4Dsg.dll 1.0.12.0 Cfx4Data.dll 1.0.11.0 Cfx4Filters.dll 1.0.12.0 Cfx4Ole.dll 1.0.5.0 AnnotateX.dll 1.0.32.0 Thank you for your help.

Software FX Posted June 18, 2003 Report Share Posted June 18, 2003 I forgot about this. For compatibility with other Development Tools, Specifically Borland tools we had to disable the "In-Place Editing feature". You will need to make this color changes using code. I apologize for the confusion. -- FP Software FX, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
