How to connect TeeCharts dynamically to report ? (2)

rbuser

May be I did not express clear enough in my last try from 12.07.2003 . Hope
anyone can help me this time.

My application has, for example, 2 TCharts on a form. One for data A and one
for data B

I want to print these two TCharts with report builder using TppTeeChart. The
layout of the report builder template should be created by the enduser.

When the enduser creates his own NEW template with 2 TppTeeCharts he has to
tell report builder what original TChart belongs to what TppTChart on his
template. I don't find any way to let this user "mark" his TppTeeCharts. So
my app does not know where to assign the original TCharts to. It may be,
that the enduser creates 4 TppTeeCharts (2 copies) on other pages.

thanks again !

Joachim,

The TppTeeChart component in ReportBuilder is just a wrapper around an
acutal TChart component. When you place one on a report, you are
instantiating a TChart component behind the scenes.

If you need to display individual TCharts on a Report, you will need to save
the TCharts as an image and then display the image on the report. We have
has many customers use this method and there are numerous posts with tips
and tricks on getting this to work. Search "Ed Dressel TeeChart" in the
newsgroups for more information.

OK. I know that, but how can it be that the Tchart has to be saved first to
an emf or so and then to be reimported as a TPicture descendent ? That is
the way I always did it, but the scaling and so on is totally insufficient
then...

thank you

Joachim,

Try saving the TChart to a bitmap instead of an emf and see if the results
are better.
