There are two problems with background color.

1. When I set background color other than Transparent, it's always shown as black.

However transparent color is OK for me. But there's another problem.

2. When I'm trying to save chart background color is always black for all formats. And when I'm trying to copy it background color is always blue.

I've already tryed different formats. And I've got the same results when saving and copying chart in design mode.

Is this a bug or maybe something is wrong with my chart settings?
Version 1.1.1544.23908.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

yes, you're correct, we're aware of these problems. And have added them to the list of defects for the TeeChart for .Net, meaning that a fix to them will be considered for inclusion into the mainenance release.

I have a comment that I hope may help. I also have a related question.

First, I have found a workaround for this problem when copying charts to the clipboard at runtime. It may also work for printing, but I haven't tried it.

Instead of using Chart | Panel | Background | Color... in the TeeChart Editor, I use Chart | Panel | Background | Pattern... I can set the colors and even the background image in this dialog and those settings are used when I copy the chart.

The pattern dialog stills seems a bit buggy to me, but it overcomes the worst problems.

My question is that my bugs seem a bit different. While I get the blue background whenever I copy charts (unless I use the Pattern workaround), I have other problems with displaying the background color. Basically, I can't change it at all at runtime (unless I use the Pattern workaround). Transparency settings don't seem to have any effect for me.

Is this part of the same defect that is being addressed?

David
