Hi,
While using Quinn-Curtis Charting tool for my windows application in .Net Framework 2.0 , I have a situation where I have to generate different charts at the same chart object on different button clicks.
The problem is that the previous charts are also been displayed with new charts. So is there any way to refresh or clear the chart area before initializing different chart on it??
Reply as soon as possible.
Thanks & Regards,
Vikas Agarwal

Call the ChartView ResetChartObjectList method to remove all of the previous objects you added to the ChartView.

But when i used ResetChartObjectList method , the controls like rotate button and datatooltip stopped functioning, though the code is same as before only i added chartview.ResetChartObjectList at the begining of code.

If you call the ResetChartObjectList method, you must re-add any of our controls (RotateButtonUserControl), and any mouse listeners (DataToolTip), just as if you were creating the chart from scratch, which in effect you are.

Hi

Please do not post large block of code in the forum unless we explicity ask for it. It makes the thread un-readable. If you have a complete, SIMPLE, example program that we can run, you can send it to support@quinn-curtis.com. Do not send us program we cannot compile and run.

Are you working with a trial version of the software, or a commercial version ?

We cannot see what your problem is by inspection of your code. Since it is tied to a database we cannot run the code. We modified one of our example programs, MultiAxesChart, adding the ResetChartObjectList at the top of the InitializeChart method, and placing a call to InitializeChart in the button2_Click handler. That way the chart is recreated everytime the 50 button is clicked. The rotate button and the tooltips continue to work. We could not reproduce the problem.

private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//	RescaleAxes(50.0);
	InitializeChart();
	this.UpdateDraw();		
}


See if you can reproduce the problem using one of our example programs.

It may be that you are simply not calling the ChartView UpdateDraw method after you recreate the graph. See our previous example.

If you do not call UpdateDraw, then the graph will not update to reflect the changes. You seem to imply that ONLY the rotate button and data tooltips don't work. If you don't call UpdateDraw, the graph will not update to reflect new data either.

Hi Sir,

in refrence to previous posts.

I m still facing the same problems of not getting rotatebutton re-activated after its first use. I have used ChartResetObjectList and UpdateDraw properties at their respective places. I m using your trial version for my windows application.
Please respond with the quick solution for it.

Thanks & Regards

Hi

I had found solution to my problem. Actually rotateButton is a chart control not a chartObject, so ResetChartObjectList will obviously not reset the rotateButton , thats why all other items ( chartObject) of my chart are working fine but not the RotateButton.

For it to work I have used this.chartview.controls.clear() in the begining of InitializeChart along with ChartResetObjectList().

Thanks for your support.

Vikas
