New features in version 4.12(January 2008)

  • Fixed: Strange results with floating bars could happen when using individual colors.
  • Fixed: When using negative Min- and Max-values with XY-charts, in some circumstances the labels of the axes didn't get properly printed.
  • Fixed: A memory leak when printing a chart using the optional RMC_BMP parameter.
  • Fixed: In seldom circumstances an error "Failed to import the ActiveX control..." can happen With VS.NET when you try to add RMChartX to a project. In this case the file objsafe.tlb is not present on your system. In folder VBNET_ACTIVEX\OBJSAFE in the installation directory of RMChart you'll find the file. Copy it to WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 to fix the problem.
  • Fixed: With VB.NET 2005/2008 compiled EXE files, running on VISTA not in debug mode, could crash with error messages like "Unable to load DLL 'RMCHART.DLL': Invalid access to memory location. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703E6)". (or even some more cryptical, when using the ActiveX). The reason for this was exceptionally not a bug in my code, but obviously in the tool I always used to compress rmchart.dll. So the DLL is now uncompressed.
  • Fixed: When using the (undocumented) function RMCGetInfoXY() in the ActiveX, a strange problem happened: everything works fine on your development machine, but if you run the compiled EXE on any other PC, the EXE will not start (without any warning/message). Don't use this function, use the new function control.GetOInfoXY() instead, which is now even documented.


  • RMCDesigner supports now source code creation for Xailer, a development environment for Xbase
