Foxcharts graphic form on page frame error VFP 9 1

[taterday]

Latest version of Foxcharts. I think it is great!

m.object.addproperty('_Original Width') .... addproperty not found

If I put the foxcharts on a form (pctform) and "do form pctform" from the page frame, the chart displays within the form at the top of the form that contains the page frame. I want to place the foxcharts on one of the page frame. Ideally to display when that page is activate. I have tried putting the code in the init and the activate. I get the same error.

The sample page frame is exactly what I want to do. I just don't see were mine is different.

I get the error above when the do the form that contains the page frame. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

What is m.object?
Not every class - so also not every object - has an addproperty method you can call to add properties. Also spaces in property names are not allowed. This code can't work because of both errors.

Check out Addproperty(m.object,'_Original_Width', m.object.Width)

Bye, Olaf.

Hi Taterday,

in the projectmanager open your form, activate the pageframe rightclick to activate a shortcutmenu, select edit, click on the page which on which you want the graph to be shown, (now this page has a turquoise border), click on the class foxcharts and drop it on your page. From here you must make the code to activate / init and start your graph.
There is a sample form supplied with Foxcharts which has graphs on a pageframe which you can also study.

I believe that is what I have done. I put the page frame in edit mode. dragged the same class.

Where could this being triggered?
There is an error message box
error number: 1734
line number : 4
statement: Addproperty(m.object,'_Original_Width', m.object.Width)


If I comment out these statements I do not get the errors. These are the statements that run correctly when using the do form ... putting them in the init event.


WITH THIS.FOXCHARTS1 AS FOXCHARTS OF "FoxCharts.vcx"
.SOURCEALIAS = "Pct1"
.CHARTSCOUNT = 1
.CHARTTYPE = 2 && 1 for pie chart
.AlphaChannel = 230
.ColorType = 14
.PieDetachAnimationSteps =30
.PieDetachSliceonClick = .T.
.PieEnhancedDrawing = .T.
.PieDetachSliceOnLegendClick = .T.

WITH .FIELDS(1)
.FIELDVALUE = "col1"
endwith
.FieldLegend = 'Row1'
.FieldAxis2='Row1'
.Depth = 20
.ColorType=1

.DRAWCHART()
ENDWITH

I don't see the connection, where in that cdode is your m.object? And again, what is it?

In regard to the newe code:
WITH THIS.FOXCHARTS1

Where is THIS located, what is THIS? If it'`s in a form method, that code will only work on a foxcharts put directly on the form, otherwise you need to adjust the object reference to eg THISFORM.PAGEFRAME1.PAGE1.FOXCHARTS1

Bye, Olaf.

I found where the error is coming from. It is a custom class that I have. I appreciate your help.

Thank you. You kept me from giving up and researching it further.

My 2c:

a SET STEP ON near the end of an error handler before you RETURN or RETRY is very helpful for debugging errors.

This allows you, without having a dedicated breakpoint set manually, to investiage further, after an error happend. You can eg inspect m.object in the watch window in this case...

Bye, Olaf.
