I just posted an update to my Report Engine control which now supports adding Charts/Graphs to any Report Page. You can specify the Chart Type and Location at Runtime and even add data to the Chart at Runtime. Additionally, you can even change the Properties of any Chart on the Report at runtime including the Chart Type, X and Y Axis Titles, Font Sizes, Colors, Gradient, Title and more. They are all settable by Properties on the ActiveX control. Use the ChartSelect() Method to select a chart by Index number on the Current Report Page. You can use the ChartCount() Method to find out how many charts are on the current Report Page as well.

I still have to add support to the MindsEyeReportEngine.VCX Class Library to populate the Report Charts and have them automatically placed into the Report output from a standard VFP FRX Report. This will be done using Report Directives placed into the COMMENT field of a Report Object and on Report Fields used to add data to the report until my separate Report Designer Component is completed and then it will be WYSIWYG. Optionally, you could programatically add a Chart to the Report after it has been rendered from the Mind's Eye VFP Report Engine Class.

I also renamed the control but kept the same CLSID, so there won't be any confusion with it coming from Micro Endeavors. :-)

The new name of the ActiveX control is: MindsEyeReportEngine1.OCX

There is also a DEMO with source code included that will be installed by the new setup that will show adding some Charts to a Report that can then be printed after being added. I have not yet written the code to the SaveTOPDF() Method or Button for the Charts yet though. I should have that working by next week. The reports will also Scale in the Preview and print outs as well.

You can download the new demo from:
