Problem with embedding a line chart in a data grid column

Hi,

 

I need to expand an existing service watchingtool. This tool uses a datagrid to display information of severalservices. Each service contains a field for the actual CPU usage (inmore detail the past 60 values of the usage). I use these CPU usagevalues to draw a line chart in two different ways.

First way isto open a new window with the appropriate line chart when a doubleclick occurs on the appropriate data grid field. This works fine anddoesn't cause any problems.

Second way is to display a miniaturechart within the used grid. I've solved the problem to embed the chartin a seperate column.But here I've got a problem with the scaling of the graph. The points aren't drawn correctly scaled. What could be the problem?

Here is the code snipplet:

  public MyGridColumn(GridEX grid)   {   base.OwnerDrawnMode = ColumnOwnerDrawnMode.Cells;     // is called each time a cell is redrawn   grid.DrawGridArea += new DrawGridAreaEventHandler(GridEX_DrawGridArea);     chart_ = new Chart();   chart_.AxisX.Min = 1;   chart_.AxisX.Max = 30;   chart_.AxisX.Gridlines = false;   chart_.AxisX.Visible = false;   chart_.AxisY.Min = 1;   chart_.AxisY.Max = 100;   chart_.AxisY.Gridlines = false;   chart_.AxisY.Visible = false;   chart_.Gallery = Gallery.Lines;   chart_.MarkerShape = SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Lite.MarkerShape.None;   chart_.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.None;   chart_.LineStyle = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.DashStyle.Solid;   chart_.InsideColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;   chart_.Visible = true;   chart_.Enabled = true;   chart_.AutoSize = false;     chart_.TopGap = 1;   chart_.LeftGap = 1;   chart_.RightGap = 1;   chart_.BottomGap = 1;   chart_.NSeries = 1;   chart_.NValues = 30;   chart_.ClearData(ClearDataFlag.Values);   chart_.Series[0].Color = Color.LightGreen;   chart_.Location = new Point(0, 0);   chart_.Size = new Size(100, 17);   }   // used to refresh the values of the chart   private void RefreshUsages(Queue<int> usages)   {     if (usages.Count > 0)   {   Queue<int> refreshUsages = new Queue<int>(usages);   chart_.OpenData(COD.Values | COD.Unchange | COD.NoInvalidate, 1, 30);   for (int i = 30 - refreshUsages.Count; i < 30; i++)   {   chart_.Value[0, i] = refreshUsages.Dequeue();   }   chart_.CloseData(COD.Values | COD.Unchange | COD.NoInvalidate);   }   }   // is called each time a cell is redrawn   void GridEX_DrawGridArea(object sender, DrawGridAreaEventArgs e)   {   ServiceListEntry sle = (ServiceListEntry)e.Row.DataRow;   if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sle.CpuUsage))   {   chart_.Location = e.Bounds.Location;   this.RefreshUsages(sle.CpuUsages);   Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(chart_.Width, chart_.Height);   chart_.DrawToBitmap(bm, chart_.ClientRectangle);   e.Graphics.DrawImage(bm, e.Bounds.Location);   }   else   {   chart_.ClearData(ClearDataFlag.Values);   }   e.Handled = true;   }

The chart should be much smaller than it is drawn each time.  Every second the cells are redrawn. Although the property AxisX.Max equals 100, the value e.g. 4 is drawn as it would be 90 or 95 (wrong scaled). However, I don't do anything concerning scaling and in case I open the usage window via double click the line chart is refreshed and redrawn correctly. Even when I change the size of the usage window, the line chart is scaled correctly.

I hope someone can help me to solve my problem because we need this feature!

Hi Frank,
thanks for your reply!

I've attached a screenshot of some rows of the datagrid. There you can also see the embedded graphs. As I've mentioned in my prior post the Maximum of the Y-Axis is 100 but, however, the graphs are drawn as if e.g. 3 would have been the maximum value. The graph should be be drawn much flatter than it is drawn now.

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance!
