MarkupWindowContainer help needed

You can attach ActiveX Controls to the MarkupWindowContainer object by setting the hWnd of the AX control to the Child property of the CJ MWC.

It is important that the AX control is a child of the MarkupLabel window (draw the control on the ML window).

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be an hWnd property for the Chart control. You might be able to find the hWnd using the API thoug (I will see if I can find it soon, as I had also hoped to drop the chart control into the MarkupLabel).

I've attached a very basic demo using the VB6 TextBox control.

HTH.

Here's a demo that uses the API to try to find the hWnd of a ChartControl and then attach the control to a MarkupWindowContainer object.

It works, with some caveats:

1) It assumes the parent container scalemode is Twips
2) It won't necessarily find the right Hwnd if 2 or more Chart controls have the same Left/Top/Width/Heights, so make sure that you don't have any 100% overlapping Chart control windows.

I didn't get a chance to put too many comments in, so if you have any questions, please post the here and I will try to answer them.

NOTE: It would be nice if CJ could include an hWnd property to avoid all of this mess!

It looks like you can put the ChartControl inside a PictureBox and attach the PictureBox Hwnd to the WindowContainer to prevent this problem.
