Hello,

I am developing a VB program which could use the charting capabilities
of Excel. I have worked with other charts and I cannot find any chart which
duplicates the 2D surface chart in the manner that Excel does. I would like
to use this chart as an activex component in a VB application, but cannot
figure out who's control it is or if it is purchaseable from MS or what??

Anybody know the answer to this question?

Thanks in advance!

Andrew -

If you can count on the users having Excel, you could automate Excel
from VB to draw the chart. There must be dozens of examples on the web
that show how to do this.

Unfortunately, this has to be a stand alone activex that I have to either
wrapper or automate from within another VBA container. I prefer to put an
activex wrapper around a control so that I can add properties, methods, and
events... So that the end user can use simple code from within the
container.


Thanks, though.

Yeah, that's all stuff I know I should be doing.... Are the OWC charts
any good?

Might work with Office Web Components except that I need to be able to
program with earlier versions of Visual Studio (6.0) so that the end result
does not require .NET to be loaded. Plus.. I don't want the end user to
have to load OWC, I don't know if they can be separated out, or if runtime
royalties are free, etc... Just too many ' I don't knows ' to begin down
that path.
