ChartDirector 7.1 (C++ Edition)

Zooming and Scrolling with Viewport Control (MFC)




NOTE: This section describes Zooming and Scrolling with Viewport Control for MFC only. For Qt, please refer to Zooming and Scrolling with Viewport Control (Qt).

The example extends the Zooming and Scrolling with Track Line (1) (MFC) example by replacing the scrollbar with a CViewPortControl. There is also a save button to save the chart in PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, SVG or PDF formats.

Most of the code in this example is similar to that in the Zooming and Scrolling with Track Line (1) (MFC) example. The key changes are:
