Hi,
I use vb6, the chart control and suite 13.3.1
I am working on an existing project making various changes. I have been continually developing this application for several years now and the code base is very stable.
When the chart control was released I included this into the application to give it a bit of zing and ever since have experienced lock up after lock up of the vb6 development environment.
It is very strange and I cant understand why it is behaving this way.
If I load the application into VB and never go into my new form with the chart on it I never experience any problems.
If I so much as open the form, and I am not even running the application yet, then the next time I try and save the project or run the project the whole development environment locks up.
Having said that, if I load the application and run it without going into the form it will run just fine.
I have rebooted, virus scanned, defragged and chkdisked just in case there is a corruption somewhere.
I do not have any problems with the chart sample programs supplied with the install.
I notice that suite controls 13.4.2 "ensures compatibility with chart pro" - What exactly does that mean? At this point in time I suspect this could be what is causing me problems so am going to upgrade now.
Has anyone elses experienced this?
What does "ensures compatability" really mean.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
If I cant resolve this I will have to uninstall the chart control.

| Upgrading Suite pro to 13.4.2 made no difference. |

Have removed the chart control off the form and not one lockup.
This is not some problem with my code. Simply having the chart control on the form is causing me to crash.

Hi gduncan
I tried this on our largest project (VB6, CJ 13.4.0). I put a chart control on a form; no code at all. I started the app and opened this form but nothing strange happens?!
So probably it helps if you combine your other third party controls one after one onto a form with the chart control to check if there are some side effects.

Try disabling heuristics in your antivirus. I've seen disastrous lockups of Visual Studio when such functions where enabled in my antivirus!
You save your file -> antivirus scans it. Buggy antivirus, you're doomed - at the driver level.

Update :
Completely shut off anti virus.
Loaded VB6 and chose start a new project.
Added the Chart control as a Component.
Opened Form 1
Put a Chart on the Form
Saved Project to c:\junk
Closed down VB6
Double clicked on Project1.vbp
Opened Form1
Moved Chart to a different location on the form.
Clicked the menu option Form/Exit.
A popup appears asking me if I would like to save before exiting.
I click Yes
VB6 Development Environment hangs.
Note this does not happen every time, but I repeated this load, move, exit routine 20 times and had it hang 13 out of 20.
There is not one single line of code in this project, it is simple a chart control on a form.
The only thing of note that I would say was unusual about my system is that it is a vmworkstation but I have been using this environment without problems for a very long time and I use the various Suite controls every day.

I've had a similar issue with another charting control. For VMWare I hade to shut off hardware acceleration or the control would not work correctly. I believe CJ need to allow disabling of hardware accelerated drawing here. ------------- PokerMemento - http://www.pokermemento.com/ |

Hi,
VB IDE crashes a lot when running tests. Is this because I didn't install V13.4.2 ? I really hope not because of the DockingPanes problem (I didn't try myself but another ActiveX user replied on the post in MFC), I use DockingPanes in all my projects so isn't an option to install new version :(
Thanks

Hi there, I am evaluating Chart library for internal applications but getting to the same roadblock.
I am using Chart Control ver 14.1.0 within a MS-Access 2003 form in a Win XP Professional w/SP3 environment.
Behavior: random lock-ups when displaying chart's form (3 out of 10 times perhaps), but couldn't identify the offending scenario combination so far. Any patches available? Anything to disable/enable?
Thanks in advance.
