Recently I discovered the MSChart control . It looks great , but I have a problem . I want to show a bold text at the bottom of the control , so I use the following code :

MyForm.MSChart.Footnote.Location.LocationType = VtChLocationTypeBottom MyForm.MSChart.Footnote.Font.Bold = True

Although I manage to specify the position of the text (at the bottom) , I get an error message at the second line saying :

quote:

---

Property is write only .

---

u r right it gives an error. but can u tell the reason u want that text to get bold at run time only. also why don't u try putting a label control on chart at footnote position. u can then do lots of manipulations. but then this is just a temporary solution.

i have also faced similar problems while working on chart but hey u can do lots of other manipulations like change chart type 2d,3d,pie, take a picture etc. at run time.

check out this example

for all possible manipulations
