Default Non embedded chart location

I think you're looking for the ActiveWindow.Top and ActiveWindow.Left
properties.

My goal is to create a chart which zooms in to a region of a chart by

completed my goal, but now I ran into a problem.

Getting the location (in points) of a chart is easy if the chart is
embedded, just get the .top and .left properties of the chartObject
object. With a non-embedded chart, however, there is no chartObject
object.

I can already convert the clicks to points in my axes (many thanks to
Greg Wilson), but they are shifted by the amount of grey area around the
chart. With the correct zooming (I conpensate for that also) and moving
of the chart so that the upper left corner is positioned so that none of
the grey area is showing in the upper left corner then my current code
works perfectly. Given that this is just about the crudest solution that
I have ever heard of, however, I deemed this unacceptable.

So, if anyone could help me find the top and left of a non-embedded
chart, I would be very grateful.

Thanks,
Jonathan Davis
