Hmmm—need charts in VFP? Cesar shows you powerful charting from VFP – With no ActiveX controls, dlls, or 3rd party products VFP IMAGING : FoxCharts !!! Yes, it requires GDIPlusX from VFPX but what a great project. Hey Cesar, put this into VFPX directly – this totally rocks!
If you haven’t checked out Emerson Reed’s Themed Controls for VFP, you definitely need to. The link here (VFPX – Home ) shows some samples and there’s a video as well but why not simply download the sample code and run it. One key point: don’t build the SAMPLE project and try to run it … Read more
