This is driving me nuts.
I have an Excel workbook with several sheets, including chart sheets. I have set this up to show several of the sheets in their own windows, including the charts (and some of the rest - mainly as an "input area"). I need to let the user click a point on one of the charts to select a point and change the rest of the display accordingly. I also want him to be able to rearrange the windows, including resizing them, as appropriate, to accomodate deteiled views on his display of interest. This works fine in 2003, with the chart sheets set to "Size to window", but fails when I use it in 2010, as the size to window option seems to be missing.
I need to know: am I just missing the right method? Have they retained this feature and I've just failed to find it? Or have they actually removed it?
If the latter, is there a workaround in code?
I had a look at the chart object. It does have a sizewithwindow property, but when I set this to true in code, although it does not throw an error, it also does not change the state of the property - which remains at "false".
The reason I'm doing it with separate windows (rather than embedding the charts in a sheet with all the other data) is mainly that I need to do so to generate the chart event required to respond to the user chart click.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
