DOCUMENT:Q163799 26-AUG-1999 [foxpro] TITLE :PRB: Olegraph.scx Sample Fails if Graph 8 Is Installed PRODUCT :Microsoft FoxPro PROD/VER:5.00 5.00a OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsetup ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0a ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you run the Visual FoxPro Olegraph.scx sample (samples\solution\ole) after installing one of the Office 97 products, you receive the following error: "OLE error code 0x8002005 type mismatch" CAUSE ===== This error occurs because Visual FoxPro includes Microsoft Graph Version 5 with the product but Office 97 ships with Microsoft Graph Version 8. The Olegraph.scx sample in Visual FoxPro uses a graph function called AutoFormat. Graph 8 has no such function. Graph 8 uses a property called ChartType for setting or reading the type of graph you are using. RESOLUTION ========== To set the type of graph in Graph 8, use the ChartType property. To fix the sample so it will run with Graph 8, you need to perform the following steps: 1. Modify the Olegraph.scx form (located under samples\solution\ole). 2. In the init of the form, change the line that reads: THIS.OleBoundControl1.autoformat(11,1) -to- THIS.OleBoundControl1.ChartType = 60 3. In the Optiongroup1 Click event, change the 3 lines that read: THISFORM.OleBoundControl1.autoformat(11,1) THISFORM.OleBoundControl1.autoformat(12,1) THISFORM.OleBoundControl1.autoformat(14,7) -to- THISFORM.OleBoundControl1.ChartType = 60 THISFORM.OleBoundControl1.ChartType = 54 THISFORM.OleBoundControl1.ChartType = -4102 4. Save the form as Olegraph8.scx and then run it. STATUS ====== This behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATION ================ Steps to Reproduce Behavior --------------------------- In the Command Window, enter the following command: * Assumes that VFP is your default directory DO FORM HOME()+"samples\solution\ole\Olegraph.scx" REFERENCES ========== Microsoft Graph Visual Basic Help File (vbagrp8.hlp) (c) Microsoft Corporation 1997, All Rights Reserved.
