Step-by-Step Example

1. Start a new Standard EXE project. Form1 is created by default.
2. Click Components on the Project menu, and then select "Microsoft Chart Control."
3. Add an MSChart control and a CommandButton to Form1.
4. Set the ChartType property of the MSChart control to 3-vtChChartType2dLine.
5. Add the following code to Form1:

         Option Explicit
   
         Private Sub Command1_Click()
            Dim x As Integer, y As Integer
            Dim s As Series
            MSChart1.RowCount = 10
            MSChart1.ColumnCount = 4
   
            For y = 1 To 4
               MSChart1.Column = y
               For x = 1 To 10
                   MSChart1.Row = x
                   MSChart1.Data = x * y
               Next x
   
               With MSChart1.Plot.SeriesCollection.Item(y)
                  'The next line is required to change the Marker properties.
                  .SeriesMarker.Auto = False
                  .DataPoints.Item(-1).Marker.Visible = True
                  .DataPoints.Item(-1).Marker.Size = 60
                  .DataPoints.Item(-1).Marker.Style = VtMarkerStyleX
                  .DataPoints.Item(-1).Marker.Pen.VtColor.Red = 0
                  .DataPoints.Item(-1).Marker.Pen.VtColor.Blue = 0
                  .DataPoints.Item(-1).Marker.Pen.VtColor.Green = 0
               End With
            Next y
   
         End Sub
   
   						

6. Press the F5 key to run the project.
7. Click Command1. Note that the Marker style and size do not change.
