Drawing Simple Graph in VB

[j2flk1234]

Hi,

I have a user entering information into a MSFlexGrid and want to graph some of the data using a line graph. I tried using MSChart but it doesn't seem to work for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

You could draw it yourself. For that matter, you could create a user control which draws a chart the way you want.

By the way, what version of VB are you using?

Also, if you describe what you don't like about MSChart, there may be someone who knows a way around the problem.

I am using VB6. The problem I had with MSChart was that I wasn't able to find a way to assign the data from my MSFlexGrid to the MSChart.

Right now I am using a picture box and the Line function to create a graph but the problem I am having with that is that I can't seem to give the graph an axis and the graph doesn't look too pretty.

If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!!

Hm... can you explain in more detail what you mean by "can't seem to give the graph an axis"? (I'll take a stab in the dark and say that you need to turn AutoRedraw on before drawing your axis, and off again afterward. But that's just guesswork, of course.)

As for MSChart, you might do well to try the search box up the top of the page. The MSChart control has been discussed here quite a few times, so you may find what you need is already here.

Hi,

The problem with the axis is that when i draw a line graph nothing on the axis shows up. So if my y axis is from 0 to 1 i want that to show up but it doesn't.

I've also checked the other inquires about MSChart but nothing really seems to help me out. Mostly everything I have seen online has MSChart working with a database or datagrid but not a flexgrid, any ideas?

I finally figured out how to use MSChart, one thing I was wondering was whether it is possible to have an x y and z axis using this chart?

I don't know. I'd suggest you post that as a new question, here in the VB forum, for a better response.

A lot of people watch for questions with no replies, so won't notice a thread which has gone on for a while like this one.

In fact, I'll do it for you. Here, I've split off that message to this thread.
