TeeChart v2015 Pro Evaluation: TeeCommander useless for non 3D charts

Newer versions of TeeChart have TeeCommander component - toolbar for performing some actions. But it always sets the chart to be 3D before performing any scrolling or zooming.

To re-produce, either see Toolbar demo (if you load examples\features\Tee9New - just choose to continue after all exceptions) and set the chart to be 3D using the editor button on the toolbar or create a new VCL forms application, drop TChart and TTeeCommander components and set teeComander1.panel to be Chart1.

Is there a way to:

  • Prevent scroll/zoom buttons to switch 3D to TRUE?
  • Disable/Hide some buttons (Rotate)

similar as TDBNavigator?

Solution

  • The issue you noticed is actually happening since at least TeeChart VCL v6. So it could be a limitation per design.

    I found an old ticket reporting it so I've moved it to the public tracker:
    http://bugs.teechart.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1350

    Thanks for reporting it.

    A simple workaround would be setting a very little Chart3DPercent so that features can work and the 3D will be almost unnoticeable:

    Chart1.Chart3DPercent:=1;

    Disable/Hide some buttons (Rotate)

    See the "Custom buttons" example at the Features Demo under the "All features\Welcome !\Toolbar" section.
