dateformat bug/incorrect documentation

[Brian Begy]

Hi. I have a datatable that contains a column of dates and a column of integers. I am graphing the dates on the x axis of a points chart and the integers on the y axis.

The date label formats do not behave as the documentation would indicate. It says that
mygraph.Chart.Axes.Bottom.Labels.DateTimeFormat = "hh:mm am/pm"

should give me something like
05:00 pm

Instead I get
05:00 a0/p0

Clearly the formatter is interpreting the m's in am/pm as minutes. I tried enclosing am/pm in brackets and quotes, but that has no effect. How do I get am/pm to show up correctly?

Hi Brian,

Clearly the formatter is interpreting the m's in am/pm as minutes. I tried enclosing am/pm in brackets and quotes, but that has no effect. How do I get am/pm to show up correctly?

See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... stopic.asp

The AM/PM designator is "tt".

So the documentation in the help file is wrong then. Shouldn't this be considered a problem?

If I have a question about tee chart date formats, I'm not going to look up the answer on msdn, I'm going to use the (incorrect) help file that shipped with tee chart.

Thanks for pointing out the error to us, the TeeChart help topic is misleading.
It has been logged to be corrected for inclusion in the next maintenance release.
