Native Export in XML format?

I need to export native chart properties in XML format - as demonstrated in the Export Dialog - any idea how to do that?

Thanks,

Hugh

Hi Hugh,

I'm afraid it's not possible to save chart properties into an xml file. If you want to save them, you'll have to save into a tee file.

You can have a look at the detailed explanation in the tutorials:

Tutorials/Chapter 12 - Exporting and Importing Charts

And at the examples from features demo:

All Features/Exporting/Chart Data/XML
All Features/Exporting/Native binary format/Templates

Both tutorial and demos should be available at TeeChart's program group.

that's what I also found - however - how it is done in the Export Dialog - there I can export in Text and XML???

Hi hugh,

Text and XML only allows exporting chart data. You'll find an example at Tutorial 12 - Exporting and Importing Charts, "Exporting data" section replacing asHTML for asText or asXML.

Examples can also be found here:

http://www.teechart.net/support/viewtop ... ight=asxml
http://www.teechart.net/support/viewtop ... ight=asxml

Hope this helps!

Narcis,

I did study all the lessons you are telling me - just to make sure we are on the same page and understand my question, please....

Open the Editing Window -> Export -> Tab: Native
this lets u:

a) select 'Include Series data'
b) select a 'Format': Binary
Text
XML
with the option to view Text and XML - and this data is the config for the chart...

c) the File size

so - it is possible in the editing tool...

thanks,

Hi Hugh,

Yes, we forgot to include these method (SaveToXMLFile and SaveToXMLStream) at runtime. We have just added them for the next maintenance release. In the meantime, if it's necessary, we can send you the .ocx with this feature.

Thanks, Hugh

Hi Hugh,

I've just sent you the new .ocx. Please remember that you'll need to unregister current version and register new one as I told on this thread.

Hi Hugh,

Yes, you are right. I've sent you now the correct ocx. You should use it like this:

Code: Select all

    TChart1.Export.SaveToXMLFile FileName
