Re: [DUG]: TChart Set LeftAxis Labels

[Todd Martin]

Hi Tracey   You're passing a constant string _expression_ ('any old string') to GetAxisLabel() which expects a variable.   Try this var   AxisLabel : String; begin   GetAxisLabel(LeftAxis, HorizBarSeries, 1,AxisLabel);   ShowMessage('The label axis is ' + AxisLabel); end;   Todd. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tracey Maule To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 2:08 PM Subject: [DUG]: TChart Set LeftAxis Labels Hi   I have dynamically created a Chart, with 3 HorizBarSeries which are mbStacked.   What I now need to figure out is how to set the Left Axis labels to display the contents of another field returned by my query for that record.   does anyone know how to do this without affecting the data values?   The closest i have come to success so far is:   procedure GetAxisLabel(Sender: TChartAxis;         Series: TChartSeries; ValueIndex: Integer; var LabelText: string);     begin         if Sender = FChart.LeftAxis then             if ValueIndex < 1 then                 LabelText := ''             else                 LabelText := IBQuery1.FieldByName('system').AsString;     end;       WebActionWhatever; begin stuff GetAxisLabel(LeftAxis, HorizBarSeries, 1,                                            'any old string'); end;   But I keep getting a compile error : constant object cannot be passed as a var parameter.   Anyone here know how to acheive this??   Tracey Software Developer / Web Master Logis [EMAIL PROTECTED] (025) 213-1065
