API for MS Chart Control
All,
I realize this is perhaps not the correct forum for this question, but it has proven difficult to find exactly the right forum. I have in the past done some charting using VB from both Excel and Access. There are plenty of examples and I found the process fairly straightforward. I am now in the situation where I would like to program the MS Chart Control from a Windows Form in the .NET environment using VC++. I cannot seem to find any examples of how to use the MS Chart Control from a VC++ Windows Form. There are VB examples and this is usually enough to get me started. But in this case I am a little stuck. Here is the best I have been able to do so far after dragging the control onto my form: axMSChart-set_TitleText(S"My Chart"); axMSChart-set_Width(200); (and a couple of other simple minded things) But all of the VB examples have enumerations that I cannot seem to figure out the VC++ namespace for. Not to mention that the VB methods do not exactly (or even closely) match the VC++ methods. I thought I could just deduce everything from intellisense, but no such luck. Also, the Datasource dropdown for the chart control does not offer any choices eventhough I have a couple of datasets on the form. Any suggestions (including where I should post this question) would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Bill |

Hi Bill,
Any suggestions (including where I should post this question) would be greatly appreciated. When you say "The MS Chart Control", is that MSGraph, or the Office Web Component? If the latter, you could try public.office.developer.web.components. If it's MSGraph, try microsoft.public.access or microsoft.public.powerpoint, but as this is on a .Net form, you're best bet is probably microsoft.public.vsnet.vstools.office.
