Graphing and Excel file updates

[Safacto]

Hi,

I'm fairly new to visual C++ and am trying to graph a vector of values. I think I may have to convert this to an array/series first, but which chart feature should I use, and how do you add coordintes to a graph/chart?

Also, how do you load or update an excel file from within visual C++? Is it possible to display the excel file in its entirity from within the C++ form?

Thanks,
Richard.

I think you should ask in a Visual C++ forum!!

Forgive me, but this was the closest forum I could find to ask questions about visual C++ using Borland C++.

After checking again, the only visual C++ forum seems to be for Microsoft Visual C++, not Borland.

Seems to be a misunderstanding here...

Safacto: I think you mean GUI applications when you say "visual". I would refain from using the term "Visual C++" as it is almost a 4 letter word in the Borland forum...

People, at least here, typically associate that term specificly with Mircosoft Visual C++ (which is not the topic of this forum by the way).

So I will assume you mean "visual" to be a windows graphic interface.

1)You ask how to graph a vector: the easiest way would probably be to drag a TImage component (or any other with a TCanvas property) and use its members to graph your vector.

2)Yes it absolutely is possible to do so, although I am not exactly sure how to go about that one; I would look into the Microsoft Office Components in C++ Builder to do this. (There may be an easier way, but as I have never had to do this, I don't know any).

Good Luck,
