TeeChart gradient in a DLL

[LucaC]

Hi,
I've some TChart into a Delphi dll.

I've made a porting of one of my dll modules that uses TeeChart. The version is 2016.19.

I've the same module running without problem in XE2 environment with TeeChart 2012.

How can i use gradient fill in new version of TChart/Delphi? Tha backgroung is always gray. Only Color property affect the background gradient don't work.

Thank you

Hello,

If I drop a TChart into a new Form and I put this code at OnCreate:

Code: Select all

  Chart1.Gradient.StartColor:=clWhite;
  Chart1.Gradient.EndColor:=clDkGray;
  Chart1.Gradient.MidColor:=clNone;

  Chart1.Walls.Back.Gradient.StartColor:=clDkGray;
  Chart1.Walls.Back.Gradient.EndColor:=clWhite;

I get this with the current TeeChart v2017.21:

So the gradients seem to work fine for me here with the latest version.
If you still find problems with it, please try to arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here.

Ok, also if I put the chart into a VCL Form Application all is Working correctly.

My problem is if I put the Chart on a Form that reside into a DLL.

Hello,

There may be some extra properties to set. Ie:

Code: Select all

  Chart1.Gradient.Visible:=True;

  Chart1.Walls.Back.Transparent:=False;
