Salutations Guillaume,
>I implemented the control and it works splendid.
Great ! Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you found it useful.
>I only have 2 little questions :
>
>- When building the graph the form-control displays a cross. Is there any way to only show the graph when completely loaded. Like some kind of BusyState i can check ??? I already tried Thisform.LockScreen but it doesn't work.
You are correct. I thought I had applied the needed change in the latest release, but I've forgotten :-(
Sorry about that.
I'll make this adjustment. Please stay tuned, in the next version this will not happen any more.
>- We're using Crystal Reports for all our reports. Now i would like to also display the graphs in CR. Does anyone know if or how i can transfer the graph to a database ?
I really have no idea how Crystal reports works.
But I'm pretty sure you can save the chart as an image, to a temp folder, and use it in your report.
For saving to an image, just adapt this code:
Thisform.FoxCharts1.0Bmp.Save("C:\MyChart.Png", _Screen.System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)In the future, FoxCharts will be able to generate EMF image files. This will allow you to print really perfect charts.
Right now this still depends on a new version of GdiPlusX, that will probably be released in the next months.
Stay tuned !
Regards
Cesar
