Formatting charts from VBasic

[danoneb]

Hi!
I am using Visual Basic 6 sp 4 and Seagate Crystal Reports 8.

My problem is as follows: I have an xy-scatter chart that has to display two kinds of marker shapes (say triangles & squares) ... the problem is i don't know until runtime the kind of marker i need for each record.

The question is: can each shape be modifyed through vb code during run-time? (ie something like: first marker: square, red, second marker: triangle, red, third marker: triangle, yellow etc)
If not, is there any other solution to get the chart displayed with two different markers based on - say - an additional recordset field?

How are you launching the report?
(OCX, RDC, API or Automation Server)

If there aren't too many options you could do each chart separately and suppress the ones you don't want to see. This can be done in any method.
