Hi Eva,

The "ChartDirector Chart Viewer" label is displayed during "design time". This is the timer when you drag the control into a Form during program development. The label allows you to see what type of control it is. At "runtime", the label should not occur.

Would you mind to clarify if it is a VB6 program, or is it running in some other environments (eg. VBA in Excel or other environment that supports ActiveX control)? Please also inform me the Windows OS version and the version of the environment (eg. Excel 2013 on Windows 10). I will try to reproduce the issue and fix it.

I seem to remember many years ago, one of our customers have a similar issue, because the programming system he was using is always in "design time" mode (that is, the code is run in "design time" and there is no separate "runtime" environment).

Hi Eva,

We think the problem is due to the PowerPoint environment does not clearly separate the "design time" and "runtime" environment. To solve the problem, we have developed a modified ChartViewer control "ChartViewer.ocx". You may download it from:

http://www.advsofteng.com/comchartviewer601.zip

To install the modified ChartViewer.ocx, please use the following steps:

(a) Windows by default will disable all downloaded OCX or DLL. You would need to "unblock" the zip file first, then you can extract the "ChartViewer.OCX" out. See:

http://www.advsofteng.com/unblock_zip.html

(b) Exit all applications that are using ChartDriector. If some applications are using the OCX, you may be unable to replace it.

(c) If you are using 64-bit Windows, by default, "ChartViewer.ocx" is installed in "[windows]SysWoW64". Please copy the modified "ChartViewer.ocx" to "[windows]SysWoW64" to replace the old ChartViewer.ocx. If there is a file ChartViewer.oca in that directory, please delete it.

If you are using 32-bit Windows, please use "[windows]System32" instead.

Please kindly let me know if this can solve the problem.

Regards
Peter Kwan
