ChartFX 7 Winforms - cannot edit control


I have a winforms form with a ChartFX 7 control on it and I am not able to click or select the control on the designer. The controls are not locked and the version is VS2015 with framework 4.0 selected. I cant even drag and drop the control onto a form. Does anyone know a way to fix this issue? I've restarted/reinstalled (and created new solutions in vs2015) many times with the same result. Cannot click/select the control on the designer.


Solution

  • It turned out VS2015 messed up some registry entries while installing the ChartFX plugin or the plugin did not copy the settings into the new framework version. I copied the settings manually into the new framework versions (in my case, copied it into 4.0 from 3.0) and it worked.

    Below are the keys I created (moved ChartFX70 key from v3.0):

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319\AssemblyFoldersEx\ChartFX70
