OWC11 AxChartSpace - Colors

[chrisli]

Hi,
i'm using the OWC11 AxChartSpace Component for a little statistic.
Everything works great, but i'm not very happy with the used colors in the ChartPie, so i want to change them.

So it looks like at the moment: http://img249.yfrog.com/i/chartcolors.jpg

For example i want to change the color of the "unbestätigt" Value, to green..but i have absolutely no idea how to do this. I only found a method which changes the backcolor...

Thank you for your help.

Greetings.

I haven't touched office components for a long time... though i remember you can set colors of bar charts... i.e. add specific colors to the bars/pies etc...

AxChartSpace1.Charts(0).SeriesCollection(0).Interior.Color="green";

Hi,
thanks for your answer.

You are right, with your posted code, i can change the Chart Categories colors, but only in ONE Color. Picture: http://www.pictureupload.de/pictures...artcolors2.JPG

Any additional ideas?

Finally, i got it. What a mess. ;)

Here's the code:

myChart.Charts(0).SeriesCollection(0).Points(1).Interior.Color = "red"
myChart.Charts(0).SeriesCollection(0).Points(0).Interior.Color = "green"
myChart.Charts(0).SeriesCollection(0).Points(2).Interior.Color = "yellow"
 

This took me so much time, just for finding out, that the added Categories are named ".Points"..
