Labels in Gantt chart disappear in new build

[Exact Software]

Since i am using the last build (1.1.1499.42325) i have a problem with my gantt charts.

Some of the labels (Y-Axis) don't appear on the chart anymore. When i am stepping through my code i see that the Add method is called correctly.

Code: Select all

Public Function Add(ByVal start As Date, ByVal endDate As Date, ByVal y As Double, ByVal text As String) As Integer

The Gantt shapes are drawn correctly in the grid, it's just the labels.

Does anybody encountered the same problems or did you guys @ steema know of this problem ?

Thanks in advance 4 your answers !

Hi,

could you please post the code you're using in the steema.public.attachments newsgroup so we can reproduce the problem "as is" here ?

Dear Pep,

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately i cannot send you the complete code, it is built on top of our own DLL's.

I can give you some snippets though: this is basically how my code works.

In an aspx page I declare a webchart, and add a gantt series

Code: Select all

Dim wchart  As Web.WebChart = New Web.WebChart
Dim chart As Chart = wchart.chart

Dim Planned As Styles.Gantt = chart.Series.Add(New Styles.Gantt())
Planned.Title = "Planned"
Planned.XValues.DateTime = True
....

Then i add data to the series, looping through a query result.

Code: Select all

Dim v(,) As Object = Query()
...

For i As Integer = 0 To Ubound(v)
	...
	Planned.Add(v(i, 0), v(i, 1), i, v(i, 2))
	...
Next

Then i export the chart to a PNG, store it in the session and parse it on my page. (parsing not in code sample)

Code: Select all

Dim ms As new MemoryStream
chart.Export.Image.PNG.Save(ms)
Session(chartid) = ms
...

I verified that every time i call the Planned.Add i pass correct values. This worked perfectly OK in the version for the 1.0 framework but in the latest build the labels disappear.

Can anybody please look into this problem, or tell me what more information you need ?

This is critical functionality !

Hello,

Thanks for the bug report, the change that slipped in to break this functionality in the latest build will be corrected. Apologies for the inconvenience.

As a workaround you can set the following before populating the Series:

Code: Select all

Planned.XValues.Order = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.ValueListOrder.None

Small correction:

better (for consistency)

Code: Select all

Planned.StartValues.Order = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.ValueListOrder.None

than

Code: Select all

Planned.XValues.Order = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.ValueListOrder.None

Thanks a lot marc ! Your workaround does the job and my gantt chart looks nice again.

Do you have any idea when this bug will be solved ?
