Copy a Chart

Hello

I would like to copy a chart to another form. I have a MainForm which displays several charts. However I have another form which I would like to copy some of the graphs from MainForm to this new form (GraphCompare) so that the charts can be compared easily by the user. I am unsure on how to do the actual copying part.

so far I have this:

Code:

---

        Dim Chart56 As New Chart
        Chart56 = Chart1
        GraphCompare.Panel1.Controls.Add(Chart56)
        GraphCompare.Show()

You could add a FlowLayoutPanel to your form that you want to send them to and just initialize it with one and have a AddChart() sub to keep adding more.

vb Code:

Dim chartviewer as new ChartViewerForm(me.Chart1) 'or whatever your for name is, same for the chart.
chartviewer.Show
 
if chartviewer.visible then
 
   chartviewer.addchart(me.chart2)
   chartviewer.addchart(me.chart3)
 
end if

ChartViewer Class:

vb Code:

public class chartviewer
 
 public sub new(c as chart)
 
    me.flowlayoutpanel1.controls.add(c)
 
 end sub
 
 public sub addchart(c as chart)
 
   me.flowlayoutpanel1.controls.add(c)
 
 end sub
 
end class

Something along those lines,

Justin

If they haven’t found a working solution in 12 years, they’ve probably abandoned their project… :D
