New to CW++

[Andrew Weiss]

I just got Measurement Studio today and I am playing around with Component
Works for C++. I am very impressed!

So the first thing I do is try a test program which shows a CNiGraph. And
I can control everything from the labels to the colors.

But when I run the program, my brain feels that I ought to be able to right
click in the graph itself, and control properties that way during runtime.

If I wanted to give a user the ability to change the color of the background,
I could make my own controls and my own code to handle it ... but can't the
CNiGraph being shown handle this itself? Does this capability exist?

Please email me in addition to your post.

Property pages are a built-in design time component of ActiveX controls and
are not exposable at runtime. The only way to do something like this would
be to build your own interface outside of the ActiveX controls which make
up our user interface libraries. As you mentioned, you could do this yourself.
The ActiveX control property pages are not exposable at runtime however,
so these pages can't be made available.
