Hi.
I just reckognized that I cannot modify a Rectangle tool at runtime via the chart editor panel or dialog.
Is it the way that tools cannot be modified via the editorpanel or -dialog at runtime. IMO this should be possible.

Best regards

Roland

Hello,

I've created a new FMX project in RAD XE8, I've dropped a TChart and a TTeeCommander on the form.
I've added a TLineSeries (with some sample values) and a TRectangleTool to the TChart at designtime.
Then I've ran the application, opened the editor through the Commander and I could modify the rectangle tool:

Do you see anything I may be missing to reproduce the problem?

Hi. Strange - it is not working like that for me.
The details of the tool settings are missing in my project - this project is still in XE7 though. Is there an official XE8 version available - did not know that.

Best regards

Roland

Hi.
It is working when I drop the TTeeCommander to the form.
I was not aware of this component and only dropped the EditPanel.

Thanks a lot your charting component is great. Soryy for not reading the documentation thorroughly enough.

Hello Roland,

I'm sorry, we are working on the installers for XE8 and I used that to test this. We will publish them imminently.
I've tested the same with TeeChart v2015.14 in RAD XE7 now with the same result.

Are you following the very same steps I described in my first reply above to test this?

Sorry, I missed your last post.

I see. Using the TChartEditorPanel you need to add a unit to the uses clause in order to access the RectangleTool editor:

Code: Select all

uses FMXTee.Editor.Tools.Annotation;
