Hi,

I have had a look but can't find any functionality that's like the ReportControl.PaintManager.NoItemsText.

Is there something like this available within the ChartControl already?

If not then is it possible to add it? Like the ReportControl it would be good to display a reason as to why there is no chart data being displayed if no data is found. I would prefer that than showing a Chart with lots of zeros.

At the moment I check to see if the ReportControl I am getting data from has records greater than zero


        If rpcGrid(1).Records.Count > 0 Then
            Set .Content.Series(1).style = New ChartLineSeriesStyle
                .Content.Series(1).style.Color = &H4080FF
                .Content.Series(1).style.Label.Format.Category = xtpChartNumber
                .Content.Series(1).style.Label.Format.UseThousandSeparator = True
                .Content.Series(1).style.Label.Format.DecimalPlaces = 2
        End If


As the Set .Content.Series(1).style = New ChartLineSeriesStyle is inside the check the Chart never gets populated with zeros (the way I want it), therefore a NoItemsText would be a nice have.

Thanks.

Hi Alexander,
 
You could add a "Title" instead
 
 
    If rpcGrid(1).Records.Count > 0 Then
        Set .Content.Series(1).style = New ChartLineSeriesStyle
               .Content.Series(1).style.Color = &H4080FF
               .Content.Series(1).style.Label.Format.Category = xtpChartNumber
               .Content.Series(1).style.Label.Format.UseThousandSeparator = True
               .Content.Series(1).style.Label.Format.DecimalPlaces = 2
    Else
 
        With Me.ChartControl
            With .Content
                With .Titles
                    .DeleteAll
                    .Add "No items available"
                End With
            End With
        End With
 
    End If

Hi Aaron,

Yeah I thought about that and have that in place for now, but I thought it would be nice to have some standardisation between controls.

It was just a "would be nice to have".

Hi,
 
Yes, would be nice to have... I could add this to requests in my ChartControl post but I don't think it's worth trying... I don't even get replies for the remaining "problems" from support. So I have to say good luck LOL
 
Thanks
