How to save graph properties (like cwx files in Measurement Studio for C++)

[Ikaer]

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to save the properties of one Graph in a file (collection of axis, customs divisions, etc...) like we can do in Measurement Studio for C++ when we put a NI OLE object, we can save in a CWX file.

Thanx
Xavier

any idea ?

I have read a lot about how to print graph in this board but nothing about save properties of graph between 2 runs of an application. Somebody has methods ?

Hello,

You can save the current state of a graph in a file by using CNiGraph::ExportStyle() function :

Declaration

void ExportStyle(
    LPCTSTR fileName);

Description

Exports the style of the control to a file.

A style is the complete current state of a control. For example, on a CNiSlide control the current values of pointers, all colors, all fonts, and all imported images are examples of a current state that is saved as a style.

Use ExportStyle to save the style of a control after you have configured it. For example, if you often create a new CNiGraph control and set properties such as tick colors, axes ranges, and background colors, you can save the style of a graph once you have configured it. Then, when you want to create a graph of the same style, create a new graph, access the property pages, and import the exported style.

You can import or export a style from the property page or you can import it or export it programmatically using ImportStyle or ExportStyle.

Parameters

fileName

The name of the style file to save.

Regards,
