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!

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" |

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?
