Mouse events

[User (Legacy)]

I implement a real-time step chart in which Axis X is numerical with only

one series. After appending new values I increase Max property of Axis X

manually and set scroll view to observe the last 100 measurements.

It looks like that from time to time (in about 10% of cases) on left (right)

mouse button down event ChartFX object sets scroll view with minimal and

maximal values of my X values. I set Scrollable property be TRUE and FALSE

however it does not make any difference.

How can I avoid this behaviour?

Thanks,

Mikhail

Sorry I do not understand the problem. Can you be more specific about what 

menu options are you talking about and what changes are made. Maybe some 

screenshots will help you explain.

Sometimes it also heppens when the mouse cursor is over the graph.

I.e. I output a chart with five-minute time window, see graph1.gif.

Eventually (on some mouse event?) it is being output as shown on graph2.gif,

however on the next data update the time interval returns back to five

minutes.

The data update function is as follows:

void CFXGraph::AppendValuesTimeBased(double** pData, unsigned long nSize,

int nSeries) // nSeries = 1, so I have a single series

{

    double rMin, rMax, rTime;

    int nAppended = m_pChart->NValues;

    int count;

    double rStartTime = m_pChart->Axis->Item[AXIS_X]->Min;

    m_pChart->Axis->Item[AXIS_X]->GetScrollView(&rMin, &rMax);

// obtain current observation window and sometimes rMin == rStartTime

// which means that on the previous data update we had this nasty bag

    m_pChart->OpenDataEx(CfxCod(COD_VALUES | COD_REALTIME), nSeries,

nAppended + nSize);

    m_pChart->OpenDataEx(CfxCod(COD_XVALUES | COD_REALTIME), nSeries,

nAppended + nSize);

    for (int i=0; i<nSeries; i++)

// insert new data

    {

        ICfxSeriesPtr iSeries = m_pChart->Series->Item[i];

        for (unsigned long j=0; j<nSize; j++)

        {

            iSeries->Yvalue[nAppended + j] = pData[i][j];

            rTime = rStartTime + m_crSec * 0.6 * (j + nAppended);

// next observation entry every 0.6 second

            iSeries->Xvalue[nAppended + j] = rTime;

        }

    }

    m_pChart->CloseData(static_cast<CfxCod>(COD_XVALUES | COD_REALTIME));

    m_pChart->CloseData(static_cast<CfxCod>(COD_VALUES | COD_REALTIME));

    nAppended += nSize;

// new size of data array

    rTime = rStartTime + m_crSec * 0.6 * (nAppended);

// new right side

    m_pChart->Axis->Item[AXIS_X]->Max = rTime;

    if (0 < float(nAppended) - m_nScrollableWindow)

//  m_nScrollableWindow=500 (5 minutes) defines the size of observation time

window

    {

        if (rMax + m_crSec*(10 + nSize) > rTime)

// if the user looked at the last entries of the graph, then move

observation window

        {

            m_pChart->Axis->Item[AXIS_X]->SetScrollView(rTime - m_crSec *

m_nScrollableWindow * 0.6, rTime);

        }

        else

// otherwise do not change it

{

// in fact in my test this does not happen

            m_pChart->Axis->Item[AXIS_X]->SetScrollView(rMin, rMin + m_crSec

* m_nScrollableWindow * 0.6);

        }

    }

}
