Hello,

Are you trying to add the Legend Palette tool into a new chart? I'm doing that in a new application without errors.
If that works in a new application but still fails in a more complex one, please try to arrange a simple example project we can run as-is to reproduce the problem here.

After 2 years, a new fresh Delphi 11 installation and fresh TeeChart installation (latest source code) I still cannot use this tool.

Some time ago I sent you a sample project, here is a new one, it will most probably work ok with you. I need someone to provide some insights on how to succesfully locate the source of the issue.

Hello,

Indeed, I couldn't reproduce any error with that project.
Could you please try creating it by code?

Code: Select all

var ChartTool1: TLegendPaletteTool;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ChartTool1:=TLegendPaletteTool.Create(Chart1);
  Chart1.Tools.Add(ChartTool1);
  ChartTool1.Series:=Series1;
end;

No errors here with v2022.34 or v2022.35 in RAD 11.1.

Do you have any idea why the same project would work fine in one environment and not in a different machine with the same environment?
I can only think on trying to find differences between both environments.

Hello,

I have no idea what is going on, I get the same behavior under my Windows 10 VM running Delphi 10.4, under my Windows 11 VM running Delphi 11 and under my desktop computer. I have no other computer to try it ...

Can you please send me a simple executable to run here?

Sure, find it here. I've tested it in a Win11 VM and it seems to work fine.

Hello,

I'm sorry for the lack of reply here.
Have you found any configuration that may be explaining this?

Hello,

I have tried this in a new environment. Runs ok. Is it possible that your test machines are running security software that may be inhibiting the creation of windows objects/handles? Perhaps running the example across several machines may give a hint by more easily identifying what machines generate/don't the error. I'm assuming that you have machines that do not all run the same setup and that are able to run the example without an issue.
