Or you can use the MS Chart ActiveX component, here is a code sample:

I'm having issues with mschart.ocx with the license. Reading in internet, i get the general idea that it must be installed with Visual Basic V6 to get the license. Searching in microsoft, i only see a microsoft chart controls for framework 3.5. I installed them but acucorp don't see them, and myself don't see any new activeX control installed. I'll look a bit more but i give up. We have another alternatives like mschrt20.ocx (a bit limited) and Fx charts, but only to remove my doubts... how you use mschart.ocx?

Thanks anyway :D

The ACUCOBOL-GT runtime will automatically apply a license to the mschart.ocx. However, not all versions do. I don't remember instantly what version this was introduced in, but I am pretty sure all versions as of 7.0.0 does.

We are working with acubench and runtime v8. I see the microsoft chart controls v6.0 correctly in my activeX list, but when we add it in the screen designer, it shows "Design-time license for OCX.MSChart control missing. Loading control with place holder only". I think then... ok, i'll display it on runtime, but still giving the no license message when the program starts.

Maybe you refer to the activeX version instead of acubench version? I look in your example the definition of your screen, and don't see the license. I mean:

03 ax-graf, MSChart,
COL 11,40, LINE 1,70, LINES 39,40 CELLS,
SIZE 69,30 CELLS,
ID IS 1,
LICENSE-KEY "8E147C69-BD50-11d1-B137-0000F8753F5D"

This is my definition, using mschrt20.ocx (microsoft chart controls v6.0 Oledb) but this activeX appears to be a bit limited (no 3d pie chart, even having it in charttype propierties, give fatal errors when used it, that's why trying to use another one).

Anyways, I'm new with the use of activeX. Any more help?

Thanks!
