Delphi: Show the same Graph on 2 different forms

I would like to show the same graph (TChart) on 2 different forms. on the first there is a small version, but i would like the user to be able to click a button to show a bigger version of the graph.

Solution

  • You could have two different controls in which you supply the same set of data. or you can try setting the parent of the control on the new form.

    TSmallForm = class
...
procedure TSmallForm.Button1Click(sender : TObject)
var
  F : TForm;
begin
  F := TForm.Create;
  try
    ChartComponent.Parent := F;
    ChartComponent.Align := alClient;
    F.ShowModal;
  finally
    F.Free;
  end;
end;
