Problem seeing pointer line with TAnnotation Tool

Hi,

I am using a ChartTool1 : TAnotation Tool in two different forms. In one the pointer line is clearly visible, in the other it doesn't appear no matter what I do to set it's properties via the Delphi Object propertes Inspector or by using the TeeChart embedded editor? Should I try setting it visible programmatically?

What properties do I set programmatically, since they don't map direction to the property editor names?

FYI: the Chart1 background color is BLACK, I've been trying to set the pointer line to red in order to make it show up.

Thanks in advance,

Matt aerosys@aerogeomatics.com

It's strange, you can try it programmatically, it may be a serialization problem. Using the chart editor and clicking on the help question mark button and then clicking on one property the design-time help window for the clicked property will be opened. This way you will know what to set at run-time.

It's even more strange. Could you please send us an example we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here? Please post your examples at [url]news://www.steema.net/steema.public.attachments[/url] newsgroup.

Hi, I seemed to have resolved the problem by systematically turning various "visible" properties and finally got the pointer to show.

Thanks for the help,

Matt
