Hello,

I've checked ChartBrowser sample 24.3v and try to 'File -> Copy To Clipboard' then paste into paint. All works as exected.

This is function from sample. May be you use old method.

Private Sub cmdCopyToClipboard_Click()
If ActiveChartControl.CopyToClipboard(ActiveChartControl.Width, ActiveChartControl.Height) Then
MsgBox "Chart image has been copied to clipboard", vbInformation
Else
MsgBox "Chart image has not been copied to clipboard due to internal error", vbExclamation
End If

End Sub

Use please ActiveChartControl.CopyToClipboard function istead you code

Regards,

HI,

We just upgraded from v15 to 24 version. We are just getting over the differences in the versions but have noticed that the copy to clipboard method we were using no longer works.

    Clipboard.Clear
    DoEvents
    Picture1.Cls
    Picture1.Width = Me.ChartControl.Width
    Picture1.Height = Me.ChartControl.Height
    Me.ChartControl.PrintToDC Picture1.hDC, -1, -1, Me.ChartControl.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, Me.ChartControl.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
    Clipboard.SetData Picture1.Image, vbCFBitmap

Using a a 3d Pie chart only copies the legend - it ignores the chart?
