I am still having problems with the chart control in Livecode 10 and iOS.
When I deploy or test an app either on a device or simulator the chart fails to refresh when I set the csvdata property of it to a new value.
If I navigate away from the card and then back to it, the chart then refreshes correctly.
Is there a way or command to force the chart widget to update its contents?
Thanks
Andy

Re: Livecode 10 Chart Problems
Hi Andy,
did you try the "usual supects" like:
lock/unlock screen
set the csvdata to EMPTY first and then to new data
set the backcolor of this stack to the backcolor of this stack
?

Re: Livecode 10 Chart Problems
Yes, I tried those, send send update to me in 1 to try to get it out of the stack.
Ive created a small test file to demonstrate the issue and submitted it to Livecode as a bug. It works fine in the IDE but does nothing when compiled to an actual app for iOS.

Re: Livecode 11 Chart Problems
I can't seem to get this tooltip (which I see by right-clicking) in the attached graph image to click on it and insert a script. Does anyone know how to help me?

Re: Livecode 10 Chart Problems
I don't think a tooltip can have a script. A tooltip is simply a string attached to an object.
AND a tooltip generally becomes visible when one performs a mouseEnter . . .
I have certainly never heard of a tooltip becoming visible with a right button click.
If a right-click sets the visible of an image or textField that is something else (which could contain a script: as it would be a separate object), but not a tooltip.

Re: Livecode 10 Chart Problems
Yet, if you use the chart widget and enter values to obtain a chart like mine, and then right-click on the chart, that tooltip appears, which is not configurable in the chart widget object properties. It's as if there were a Recalculate/Update Chart function; in fact, the symbol is the same, but I can't control it. It appears and is clickable, but it doesn't do anything.

Re: Livecode 10 Chart Problems
Ah: I did not understand you were referring to a widget.
Widgets do not always conform to standards we expect of LiveCode-native controls.
If you have a look here:
https://docs.livecode.com/docs/LiveCode ... ets/Chart/
you will see all the properties of that widget.
