Can't set TeeChart dataset

edited April 2002 in General
Hi,

I've being using report builder for a number of months now but I've just got
a round to trying the chart component. I can place a TppDPTeeChart component
on the report, but after adding a series to it I can't select a dataset, the
dropdown list is empty. I have a TQuery, TDatasource, and TppDBPipeline
available on the form. Any ideas?

Delphi 5 pro
Report Builder 6.01 pro

    Hello Bryce,

    Go to the Series tab and select the DataSource subtab from there you should
    select Data
    Pipeline rather than dataset. That is, you are connecting the Chart to the
    TppDBPipeline
    which in turn is connected to a dataset.

    Bryce,
    if you have the standard tchart component you won't be able to set the
    datapipeline at design time...
    you need the full version for that

    i'm saying that in the case of D6 i was not able to assign the datapipeline
    in the report designer at design time
    it should be possible at runtime but i haven't tried that cause that wasn't
    an option for me
    i do not know if it's the same for D5
    if you scroll through the ng then you will see my question for other options
    cause i'm not entirely happy with the TChart solution
    part of the reason being the fact that i'll have to buy a full license for
    generating 3 charts in my application
    no real answer so far though

    The TeeChart author did not include all of the units to TeeChart in the free
    version included with Delphi. (TeeMach the authors of TeeChart do not
    receive any money from Borland for the inclusion of TeeChart with Delphi).
