 Using the Zoom Control Window in TAdvGDIPChartView


TMS Advanced Charts also comes with a GDI+ version of TAdvChartView and adds extra features such as a special zoom control window.

The zoom control window allows the user to navigate through the chart and always displays the complete chart range by default. There are 2 handles that can be dragged left or right representing the RangeFrom and RangeTo of the Chart. The zoom control appearance can be customized in the GDI+ Panes Editor Dialog.

When you start the application, the zoomcontrol window will be empty. Therefore it is important to link the series by setting the SerieType property of TAdcChartSerie. The SerieType property specifies how and what series from the series collection of the chart is used on the zoomcontrol.

stNormal: This is the default value, the series will not be visible in the zoom control window.
stZoomControl: The series will only be displayed in the zoom control window.
stBoth: The series will be displayed in the zoom control window and as a normal series.

By default the chart will be automatically updated when changing the range. The property AutoUpdate can be changed to update immediate, upon release of the mouse button, or no automatic update. When no automatic update is set, you can use the 3 events below:

OnZoomControlRangeChanged: Event triggered when Range is updated after mouse button release
OnZoomControlRangeChanging: Event triggered when Range is updated when mouse is moving
OnZoomControlSelection: Event triggered when Range is updated after dragging the Selection area between the range from and range to.

What our customers say

Finally, a chart control that hits the sweet spot! As a product, AdvChart has the right approach. It's still very simple to use, the price is perfect, the code is included and easy to modify to taste and things that would be hard to add later or by the user are already taken into account like multiple panes.

I have tried your new "TAdvGDIPChartView : GDI+ enabled multi-pane chart component" demo and I am extremely impressed. I develop applications using Borland Delphi 5 and for years now, the obvious choice for charting components has been TeeChart. Well not any more !!! I often find that charting components can be a bit clumsy and awkward to use, but your charting components' properties are extremely well laid out and easy to use. Also, when looking at the GDI plus demo, the quality of rendering and anti-aliasing is world-class. Other charting components out there advertise lovely, glossy and shiny charts on their web site, but when you run their demos it's a very different story indeed. They are often poorly rendered and produce dodgy anti-aliased drawings, they are over-priced, etc... So all in all, you certainly have the best charting component that I have ever came across - on the first release and for such a great price ! I was currently looking for a new charting component - well not any more ! I will be recommending that the company that I work for purchases your new charting component.

Thanks for a truly excellent IW component set, I am genuinely impressed. ... TMS Advanced Charts are just stunning !

- Pete Barrett via email

After using Tee Chart Pro and RiverCharts for many years it took me sometime to work through the differences with TMS Charts but - now I have worked through the learning curve the TMS Charts certainly deliver. Thanks for yet another great set of components.
