Real Time graphs

[Geoff Gunson]

Hi

I am developing a statistics package that will have to display real time graphs, I am currently using the MSChart control but if you update the graph say once a second there is a horrible flicker. Can I eliminate this flicker or is there a better control that I can use?

Cheers

Geoff ;)

I encountered the same exact problem when I was trying to make a graphing program. I ended up making an update button. I have a timer that goes much faster than normal, I havent tried it for updating graphs or charts yet, but you can try. It does have a register screen before, but you could try to work around it. Email Me At SteveCRM@aol.com and give me your email address so I can send this timer to you. (Tell me how it goes, I'm curious.)

If the Graphs' Repaint Property is True you shouldn't need to force an Update/Refresh as any Change would trigger a Refresh automatically, which just redraws the Data not the whole Graph reducing Flicker.
