Hi Oleg and SuperMario,

thanks for your help! This are usual strings used to format date and time data. The problem is, I can't find the DateTimeCategory property in Chart Pro 15.0.2. Is this only available in XCP 15.1?

You can specify your own custom format when DateTimeCategory is set to xtpChartDateTimeCustom.

Here are just a few examples of custom formats:

Days:

"d MMM", "d MMM, yyyy", "MMMM, dd" and "MM/dd/yyyy".

Months:

"MMM", "MMM, yyyy", "MMMM, yyyy", "MM/dd/yyyy", "MMMM, yyyy"

Years:

"yyyy", "yy"

Time:

"HH:mm", "ddd, HH:mm"

This example shows how to set a custom date format:

    Dim Diagram As ChartDiagram2D
    Set Diagram = ChartControl.Content.Diagrams(0)
    Diagram.AxisX.Label.Format.DateTimeCategory = xtpChartDateTimeCustom
    Diagram.AxisX.Label.Format.DateTimeFormat = "MM/dd/yyyy"

Dear Oleg,

thanks for the info! Is there no list of format strings available to be used with the chart control? Where can I download version 15.1?

Hi,

the format property of the ChartAxisLabel object is described only very shortly in the online help. So I don't know what format strings can be used to format for example date and time strings. The usual format strings used in VB, for example "hh:mm" etc., don't work. Can somebody help me? Where can I find a list of format strings? Thanks alot for your help!
