Michel,
I had tried out ChartFX before. I'm not aware of ProEssential. However, I was working on the code anyway to incorporate it into my Report Engine. So I needed my own code in order to incorporate it directly into my Report Engine control.
Plus, it just adds to my tool suite of easy to use tools. I'm going to soon be releasing more of my OCX Tools that I've been working on for a while since I finally got fed up with waiting for updates/fixes for things to work properly in DBI and other controls. I finally reached the point of frustration that if I wanted it done properly I would have to do it myself. I've been waiting for over 3 years for DBI to fix the Schedule control to work more like Outlook plus let alone make it work well in VFP with Popup Menus without a bunch of extra work.
> As a curiosity, before doing all that work, did you try other tools such as ChartFX and
> ProEssential? I tried them both. I finally found ProEssential more powerful.
> With everything it does, I couldn't see myself trying to redo all that.
