hello all,

I have done some testing,  and  I am certain the problem is caused by the tab,  any charts that are not in the visible page of the tab are captured incorrectly by the Invoke method.

so I devised the following workaround:

steps:

1.  determine the tab page number that contains the charts to be captured

2. create property node "value" for tab and save current visible tab page number

3. change visible tabe page momentarily to the one containing the images to be captured

4. capture images of desired charts

5. restore the tab page to what it was beforein step 2.

these steps worked every time I tried them.

thanks

If your customer complains about flikering then the "defer FP updates" can be set and cleared before and after.
