Chart needs a 'dirty' flag
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2006 4:53 am
It would be tremendous if the chart had a 'dirty' attribute, which would be set either if the user modified the chart, or if some programmatic changes were made (although I could probably live without the latter, because my code could also update this flag).
I want to do this because I am storing .TEE files as streams to a database, and I need to know whether they have changed or not before I store them in the database. The TeeChartOffice tool maintains a dirty flag at the application level - the code is riddled with updates to it, where as it would make more sense to make it a part of the control, and make my life much easier in this department
Another option which might also solve this is issue is to make a DBAware version of the Chart (different from DBChart - all that does is get point data from the DB, it doesn't save all the vairous chart attributes to the DB). The data aware version would automatically store its contents in a blob field (either in text or binary format).
Please tell me this is an option for the future
