Create charts

[Vagabond]

Hi,

I am new to Visual Basic. I need to display charts/graphs on screen resulting from various mathematical calculations. VB does not seem to have this capability apart from MSChart control, am I right? I tried MSChart but it is not particularly good.
Can anyone suggest the best way to create charts please? The only other way I can think of is to use Excel and paste the results in the VB form. Is there performance issues with this with a large volume of data?

Thank you.

This is a an attempt to help you. I have very little knowledge of the MSCHART control though I have heard it has a lot of bells and whistles and is somewhat complicated. The OLE Container control may be something for you to look into. You could build or append an existing spreadsheet via COM as you wish and load it into the ole container. With a bit of code, you could show the chart alone on your form without Excel's toolbars if you wish. Anyway, look into the control and learn it to see if it will provide a decent option for you.

Thank you Tom for your reply. I think I will have to use an OLE container to put in the Excel charts created from Excel.

Cheers.
