symbols shown in data legend dont match ones shown in chart

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

To see this its easier to modify the "passing data" sample project.  In 

the Option6_click function add:

         .LegendBox = True

         .LegendBoxObj.AutoSize = True

         .LegendBoxObj.Docked = TGFP_TOP

         .MultipleColors = True

	.Chart3D = False

Now, I would expect the markers in the chart to match the markers in the 

legened, but this is not so.

Is this a bug, or do I need to configure this differently?

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi,

Was there a resolution to this bug?

Thanks,

This is not a bug. This behavior is by design.

You are turning on the X-Axis legend box. The symbols can not possibly match 

because they are mixed. For example for "Label 2" there is two points one is 

a square and one is Circle and one is a Square.

You are setting:

    .MultipleColors = True

Which means each point in the line may have a different color, normally you 

will combine this with setting the colors for each point. The Values Legend 

then becomes just an explanation of these colors. If you want no color key 

in this legend box, you can do:

    .LegendBoxObj.Flags = .LegendBoxObj.Flags Or CHART_LNOCOLOR

What do you want to achieve by displaying this legendbox ? By itself, this 

doesn't make sense to me. Maybe if you explain to me what do you want to 

ultimately get I can direct you on how to do it.
