.Net Version 3 Annotations

Are there any plans on enhancing the annotations? Being able to create, edit and then drag the annotation on screen and not having to open a dialog?

Hello again histry,

Have you seen the new Rectangle tool?

No I had not seen the rectangle tool, thanks for pointing it out. How would go about configuring the object so that if you single click on it you could edit the text without using any dialog.

Thanks

Hello histry,

If I were you I'd think about using 'F2' instead of a single click, as one uses the change the name of a windows folder. You could achieve this by subscribing to the tChart KeyDown event and then causing the text to change colour or whatever if the mouse is over it when F2 is pressed and then you could capture what is being typed (again using keydown) and add replace the existing text with it until F2 or 'Enter' is pressed.

This is a good idea for a RectangleTool wish and as such I've added it to the beta wish list.

Not sure that you have the following capability in the rectangle tool, but a couple of things that would be of value is to be able to

1) have same draw capaibilies to the rectangle as we have to the chart area
2) enable or disable the ability to edit the text within the rectangle.
3) When printing the chart the information within the rectangle would be also printed
