Scrollable Legend

Is there a way to make the legend associated with a chart scrollable? I have developed an application where the user is adding several series to a chart. Instead of having the legend elongating with each new series, I would like to have a default size for the legend, and have the legend become scrollable when the text has surpassed the region that I have defined. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

Hi,

yes, I've posted one example (VB.Net code) of this into the steema.public.attachments newsgroup.

Hi,

Is there a web interface to view this newsgroup? When I click on the newsgroup link I don't see the steema.public.attachments newsgroup in the list.

Thanks!

Hi,

yes, because you should go through Outlook Express or similar :

Thanks for your help. I looked at the solution, but I was wondering if there is a way to have a scrollbar physically linked to the legend. So basically I am wondering if there is a way for me to make the legend work like a System.Windows.Forms.ListView. So when the number of series increase passed a predefined region, a scrollbar would appear attached to the legend, and the size of the legend would be constant. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

this feature will be added in one of the next releases. For the moment is only available in the VCL and ActiveX version (as LegendScrollBar Tool).
But another way around this is to use the ChartListBox component which works like the ListView.
