Thanks Yeray.

That worked. I can't believe I didn't try that combination. Haven't looked at it for a while. Plus I'm getting old!

Question for old program using V6 Tchart and ActiveX

I have an old program that still gets used occasionally with version 6 AX. Someone asked me to change the pen width on the lower Bollinger band. I remember having some trouble with the lower bb. Pr4obably why I didn't do it before. Anyhow I cant seem to figure it out. My prog referred to this path b...

Change individual candle bar color

I've been using V6 AX with VB 6 for a few years and I'd like to be able to change the color of individual candles in the midst of a series and not default to the up and down close colors. The way I did it before was to create a second series with different colors and overlay the specific candles in ...

Adding user text boxes on a chart

Is there a way to add text boxes to a chart and let the user type info, scale them, edit them, and move them around? I may want them to be able to add several on the same chart. I want them to be printed when the chart gets printed so I'm hoping it will be a part of theTchart control. I see where I ...

Narcis, Thanks for the help. Not sure if that was my problem or if I even described it properly. You mentioned that later versions had a fix for the shape series. From your description, maybe there is a connection. I'm using 6.0.0.5. Would 6.0.0.6 have the changes or do you mean V7? I have a questio...

Narcis, I've been trying to clear this problem by doing some of the things you suggested with mixed success. This is an intermittent problem which drives me crazy. Anyhow I think I've traced it back to when I added a rectangle shape series to the chart. I never had the issue before that and I've nev...

Hi Narcis, I'm not able to reproduce it here. This happens whenever changing anything with the chart editor? This happens at run-time, design-time or both? This happens at design time only. After you helped me recover a couple weeks ago, I've made several changes to the program (not related to the c...

Narcis, Thanks. That worked. I had tried that before where I deleted the charts and then tried to cut and paste them fom an older version but this time I saved the file between the delete and the cut/paste. I just had one of "those" days where everything I did went wrong. I appreciate your help. David

I finally got back to messing with this problem. Here is what I found. In the production program I had some initialization steps where I cleared the series (all of them that I was using). I didn't have this in the test program. If I use the .clear option in either the test or the production program,...

I want to draw a rectangle on my chart. I set up a rectangular shape series with the editor. I did a small test program and it seems Ok but in my production prog I get a method error on the .asShape.X0 statement. I'm using VB6 and Tchart 6. The only thing I see that appears different in the code is ...

I got it working once I figured out how to access the lower band.

Code: Select all

MultiChart.Series(4).FunctionType.asBollinger.LowBand.YValues.Value(ebbPtr)
ebbptr is the pointer for the Xvalue factoring in the null values at the beginning.

Thanks for your help.
