Hi!

Unfortunately, you cannot put a shape over the ActiveX control, this will just not work because ActiveX control is a separate Windows window that draw self over all usual VFP controls (that are not windows but just drwings inside of the VFP window). So Plan B will just not work unless you will use modeless form only and window over the ActiveX that I do not know ho to make it transparent.

MSGraph has its events. Take a look to the help for MS Graph objects model - they have events that you can use. In VFP you can bind VFP code to the ActiveX events using VFPCOM.DLL (in VFP 6) or EventHandler() function (in VFP7).

MSGraph s also easy to print in usual VFP report when you create it in the General field from start and access its objects model through OLEBoundControl.

HTH.

This is no big deal by itself, but I wat to be able to devide the plot area in segments (by horizontal and vertical lines) and make these segments interactive. When the users clicks on a segment an event has to be raised. I know this can be done by putting a shape over an MSGraph component, but that's plan B. I would like a component which can handle this by itself. I think that's much safer :-)
