<AXCompat> setting in ChartFX.Internet.Config

[MattB]

Hi,

 

Anyone know what the <AXCompat> setting in the ChartFX.Internet.Config does ?

I'd hazard a guess at its something to do with COM/ActiveX and the way the browser behaves but I'm guessing. I know by setting the value to "False" it fixed a problem we were having with the non display of interactive chart but can anyone shed any more light on what it actually does ?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Hi,

I'm just looking at exactly the same thing.

 When I have a config file like this:

<

CfxIESettings>

<Relative>/ChartFX62/Temp</Relative><AxCompat>True</AxCompat> </CfxIESettings>

The chart will not reder at all. Looking at the generated HTML I notice that there is no <object id="ChartCtl1" classid="/chartfx62/download/ChartFX.Internet.Client.DLL#SoftwareFX.ChartFX.Internet.Client.Chart". We basically just get a blank page (where a chart used to be).  If I switch this back to

<

AxCompat>False</AxCompat>

Then the chart renders fine. The only down side is that the chart much be clicked to activate the control.

The Server is a 2003 SP1.  Is this a know problem?

Regards

James.

When using AXCompat we will NOT generate the object tag (as this would require the user clicking the control to activate) but instead we should be inserting a script that will eventually add the chart. Can you post the result of using AXCompat in a clean page?
