We are using the Microsoft Chart Control 6.0 Active-X control to display a pie chart of values. The chart works great and our values are displayed in the graphical form correctly. Our problem is that we want to also show the numeric values for each slice of the pie.

We have tried to use the Microsoft Office Chart 10.0 control but can't see to figure out how to plug data into the columns that we created. This control will show the values but we can't make our cobol program load the data sheet.

Any help on either of these will be appreciated.

Thanks

    Always a benefit and encouraging for brainstorming to have some very small sample code for a starter...

    I am not sure what your response is supposted to tell me??? This process is a small process that simply reads a file and puts the data totals into working storage values. Then the WS variables are being shown on a graph. The process is very simple it is the displaying of the graphs that are cause for our concern. If you have any experience with the two graphs please let me know.

    Thanks

    I have created charts before. Do you have a small code sample so we can see what direction you are taking?

    Rob thanks for the reply.

    Basically we are putting data into a fields and displaying them on a graph. The process is working great, it is the display of the graph that we are having questions about.

    As I said in one graph we would like to see totals on the pie chart and can't get them to appear. On the other we just need to know how to populate the graph with our data (it works great with data manually entered).

    Thanks for any help.

    Post some code.
    I assume that you can provide some code that illustrates your problem?
    You don't need to send along databases and stuff, just use some static values.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding that I got from you email. I read it wrong and misspoke in my response.

    This is an example of us trying to put numbers into the CHARTSPACE chart:

    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,1,WS-D-1).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,2,WS-D-2).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,3,WS-D-3).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,4,WS-D-4).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,5,WS-D-5).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,6,WS-D-6).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,7,WS-D-7).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,8,WS-D-8).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,9,WS-D-9).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,10,WS-D-10).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,11,WS-D-11).
    MODIFY Graph-1, SetData(1,12,WS-D-12).

    [WS-D-# is a working storage variable that we use to fill in data]

    I really don't know how to put code in for the other chart. We get the data into the chart and it is displayed. The only problem that we are having with it is showing the chart values on screen when the chart is drawn.

    Hope this helps.

    I am not quite sure what you want to accomplish, and a quick search did not unveil any sample code on the SetData method either. However, here is an example of how to populate the MS Chart control, is that good for any?

    gforseth, thanks for the sample program. It lets us know that what we have for the MSCHART is correct. As I said in my original post, we have the MSCHART working (except for displaying the totals on the chart). We are able to make the MSCHART take our data and display it correctly. When we showed it to our directors they wanted the totals for each Pie slice on the pie chart shown.

    The CHARTSPACE chart is the one that we just can't figure out how to get data into. It seems to want to connect to a database and will not accept data inputed via the program. We don't have SQL data to put in the chart. That is what the code sample is from my last post. It is our latest attempt (stab in the dark) at getting data into the chart.

    Thanks again.

    If you can find some example in visual basic, java, delphi or VC , that accomplishes what you want, let us know and we might be able to work it out.

    We are using the Microsoft Chart Control 6.0 Active-X control to display a pie chart of values. The chart works great and our values are displayed in the graphical form correctly. Our problem is that we want to also show the numeric values for each slice of the pie.

    We have tried to use the Microsoft Office Chart 10.0 control but can't see to figure out how to plug data into the columns that we created. This control will show the values but we can't make our cobol program load the data sheet.

    Any help on either of these will be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Great information!!! We will give this a shot right now. Thanks for working hard to find some answers!!!

    Thanks for all the help. We are now able to make the MSCHART give the information that the directors are looking for.

    Thanks again!

    Resurrecting this old thread... and looking part of the sample code, i'm having some issues trying to access properties of mschart v6 activeX.

    I'm trying to change the fonts of my axis labels but my compiler literally explode, blocking my .evt file :D (internal error 499 when generating .evt, but no problem, closing acubench an deleting .evt to regenerate it without the nuking code and testing again!):

    03 ax-graf, MSChart,
       COL 31,10, LINE 7,20, LINES 19,90 CELLS,
       SIZE 34,30 CELLS,
       ID IS 1,
       LICENSE-KEY "8E147C69-BD50-11d1-B137-0000F8753F5D".

    77 wrk-axis usage is handle of @axis.
    77 wrk-label usage is handle of @label.
    77 ind       pic s9(3)    value zeros. 

    inquire ax-graf,  @plot::@axis(VtChAxisIdX) in wrk-axis
    inquire wrk-axis, @Labels::@Count() in ind
         
    perform until ind = 0
       inquire wrk-axis, @Labels::@item(ind) in wrk-label
       use wrk-label
          modify ^@font::@name = "Courier"
                    ^@font::@size = 16
       end-use
       subtract 1 from ind
    end-perform

    This code maybe look likes "what a happy man that thinks this will work" but, i'm a newbie in activeX programming (1 week ago : \\). It's a mixture of documentations from this forums... VB forums... ACUGT docs... and my own harvest of happiness :D.

    Dunno if i can define wrk-axis and wrk-label, but looking gforseth's example code... (77 hDataPoints USAGE HANDLE OF DataPoints.) i think i can define another class in that way, but something is wrong, at least is the feeling i get when my compiler exploded :D maybe intuition... but sure somthing is wrong ;O

    Any answer or doc i can read to get a hand in how manage properties on activeX (classes, methods, blaaa blaaaa blaaaa)

    Thanks afterwards

    Since you have a compilation error, it would be neat if you could have provided a full demo program, not just the part that blows. As small as possible of course.

    The code looks sound, but there may be details in there.
