Chart Editor questions

[JayG]

Version info:
VB 2005
TeeChart 3.5.3056.18834

Is there a way to hide the OpenGL tab on a chart editor? I looked at the possibilites for Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorTabs values, and OpenGL is not listed.

Also, is there a way to hide the help button on a chart editor? I don't want the TeeChart help to load, and I don't have another help file ready yet.

Hi Jay,

TeeChart 3.5.3056.18834

First of all notice there are newer versions available at the client download area.

Is there a way to hide the OpenGL tab on a chart editor? I looked at the possibilites for Steema.TeeChart.Editors.ChartEditorTabs values, and OpenGL is not listed.

Yes, that's right. I've added this to the wish-list to be considered for inclusion in future releases. However, this tab is only added when adding TeeOpenGL component at designtime. Creating it at runtime doesn't add the tab, for example:

Code: Select all

			Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.GL.TeeOpenGL teeOpenGL1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Drawing.GL.TeeOpenGL(tChart1.Chart);
			teeOpenGL1.Active = true;

Also, is there a way to hide the help button on a chart editor? I don't want the TeeChart help to load, and I don't have another help file ready yet.

I'm afraid not. I added this to the wish-list as several clients requested that recently.

Thanks for the help.

I know there are newer versions, but I've been watching the fixes and feature notes each time. Since nothing has been listed that affects my application, I've stayed with the older version to make it easier to keep my application stable.

I'll try adding the OpenGL control at runtime as you suggested.

I guess I'll just make a "dummy" help file for now.

Hi Jay,

Of course you are free to use the build you wish, but note that we recommend using the latest available because sometimes trying to fix a bug, another related in automatically fixed and that wouldn't be reflected in the release notes. So, often, either customers and developers have nice surprises.

However, sometimes, also trying to fix something, another thing becomes broken. Here you'll have a little risk, yes. But that's the best way we have to be aware of the new bugs and you always can recover your old (known) dll.
