Annotation/band bugs

Post by RogerSaele » Fri Jun 08, 2018 8:20 am

Found a couple of bugs related to annotations/bands. Using WinForms and v8.3.1.4001,

1. All white chart if annotation added using Windows Forms designer. To replicate:
- Add an annotation using Windows Forms designer
- Run

2. Annotation MouseOverHightlight does not work.

3. Annotation anchor and target moves in upward diagonal direction when holding and dragging with mouse when MoveByMouse = false and CoordinateSystem = AxisValues. To replicate:
- MoveByMouse = false
- LocationCoordinateSystem = CoordinateSystem.AxisValues
- Try to move anchor

- MoveByMouse = false
- TargetCoordinateSystem = AnnotationTargetCoordinates.AxisValues
- Try to move target

4. NullReferenceException when band added using Windows Forms designer. To replicate:
- Add a band using Windows Forms designer
- When run, the following line in .Designer.cs gives "Object reference not set to an instance of an object":

Code: Select all

this.lightningChartUltimate1.ViewXY = ((Arction.WinForms.Charting.Views.ViewXY.ViewXY)(resources.GetObject("lightningChartUltimate1.ViewXY")));
StackTrace:
at Arction.WinForms.Charting.SeriesXY.Band.UCC(Boolean A)
at Arction.WinForms.Charting.Views.ViewXY.ViewXY.QFC(Boolean A)
at Arction.WinForms.Charting.Views.ViewXY.ViewXY.UCC()
at Arction.WinForms.Charting.LightningChartUltimate.IWC()
at Arction.WinForms.Charting.LightningChartUltimate.KSC(ActiveView A)
at Arction.WinForms.Charting.LightningChartUltimate.FSC(ViewXY A)
at Arction.WinForms.Charting.LightningChartUltimate.set_ViewXY(ViewXY value)

Hello Roger,

Thank you for the detailed report. Probably it is deserialization problem. :oops:
We will try to verify and fix issues as soon as possible.
The workaround is to create chart in the code (as all our Demo examples are done; check their code for guidance).

All the best.

Hello Roger,

Thank you for detailed report. Yes, indeed 1 and 4 are (de)serialization problems, while 2-3 some error unrelated to serialization.
Starting to search for solution.
Sorry for inconvenience.

Hi Kestutis,

No worries. For production code I always create chart in code, but for testing purpose I sometimes drop a chart on a form using the designer and play around with some properties.

Using the properties grid from our Demo App ('Properties' button at the top) should be excellent alternative for the Designer. Just open any example, select property grid and modify almost any property to your liking. The result are seen instantly.
