Image tool

[ClausB]

Hi, I'm using TeeChart Standard v2014.15.150120 and Delphi XE6.
I tried to remove some of components in my Delphi XE6 installation. Unfortunatelly this messed up my TeeChart component so I have to find some slightly older versions of the DFM- and PAS-files containing the TChart. In this TChart I use a Tools|Image. I can see this image in design mode (showed at the TChart background) but at runtime it it will not show up. All works fine as before (zooming, showing my series etc.) but the image (a bmp) is not showed. I tried to delete the TChartImageTool and add it again but still the same result: no bitmap. I think the problen is a slightly mismatch between the DFM- and the PAS-file, but it compile OK.
Do you have any good hint?
Best regards

Hi Claus,

I'm using TeeChart Standard v2014.15.150120 and Delphi XE6.

I assume v2014.15 is a "typo" (and you meant v2015.14) because there's no v2014.15 build that I know.
I also guess you meant TeeChart "Pro" because TeeChart "Standard" doesn't include the support for TeeChart Tools:

I'm trying to reproduce the problem with TeeChart Pro v2015.14 in a new "VCL Forms Application - Delphi" in RAD Studio XE6. I just created the project, dropped a TChart component into the main form and added the following code:

Code: Select all

uses VCLTee.TeeTools;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  with Chart1.Tools.Add(TChartImageTool) as TChartImageTool do
  begin
    Picture.LoadFromFile('E:\tmp\steema_logo.jpg');
  end;
end;

And it seems to work fine for me here:

Could you please arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here?

Thanks in advance.
