Is it possible to disable the HELP button on chart editor?

Hi support

The Help button on the chart editor window brings up a lot of technical information thats really only of use to developers. The end-user wont be interested in this so ideally Id like to disable this option. Can this be done?

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

I'm afraid this is not possible unless you are a sourcecode customer and customize the editor to fit your needs. However, you can set the custom help file you want to use using Editor's HelpFileName property.

OK great I'll do that.

A quick question. I display the editor the following way;

theChart.ShowEditor();

I dont actually add the editor control to the form. So is it still possible for me to set the HelpFileName property doing it this way?

Hi Dave,

I'm afraid not, you need to do something like this:

Code: Select all

			Steema.TeeChart.Editor editor1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Editor(tChart1);
			editor1.HelpFileName = yourHelpFile;
			editor1.ShowModal();

Hi Dave,

As an update, we found that editor's help button can be hidden this way:

Code: Select all

		private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			Steema.TeeChart.Editor editor = new Steema.TeeChart.Editor(tChart1);
			editor.Options = new Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions[] { Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions.Add, 
			                                                                    Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions.Change,
			                                                                    Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions.Clone, 
			                                                                    Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions.Delete, 
			                                                                    Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorOptions.Title};
			editor.ShowModal(this);
		}
