We include a simple routine to change the default sample row header string "Sample #" in your case. Unfortunately that was not made public so you can't access it. That is a bug and we have since fixed it and uploaded a fixed version of the QCSPCChart library to our web site. You can update your software by just downloading and reinstalling the software again using your original download links.
The way it works is that you just set the static property: SPCControlChartData.DefaultSampleRowHeaderPrefix before the call to the InitSPC... method. In the example below the string is set to the null "" string. It MUST be called before the InitSPC.. method.
' VB
SPCControlChartData.DefaultSampleRowHeaderPrefix = ""
' Initialize the SPCTimeVariableControlChart
Me.InitSPCTimeVariableControlChart(charttype, numsamplespersubgroup, numdatapointsinview, timeincrementminutes)
.
.
.
// C#
SPCControlChartData.DefaultSampleRowHeaderPrefix = "";
// Initialize the SPCTimeVariableControlChart
this.InitSPCTimeVariableControlChart(charttype,
numsamplespersubgroup, numdatapointsinview, timeincrementminutes);
.
