MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Start a new project. Form1 is created by default.
2. Click Components on the Project menu and check "Microsoft Chart Control."
3. Add an MSChart control to Form1.
4. Right-click the MSChart control and choose Properties from the drop-down menu.
5. Select the Series Color tab. Change the Interior color of Series "C1" from Red to Purple. Note that this also changes the Edge/Line Color to Purple as well. Click OK.
6. Add the following code to the Click event of Form1:

         MSChart1.EditCopy
   						

7. Press the F5 key to run the project. Click Form1.
8. Run another application, such as Paint or Word, and paste the clipboard contents. (Use Paste Special if you see the chart's data instead of the actual chart.) Note that in the picture of the chart, Series "C1" has a purple interior but the edge/line color is red.

Workaround

1. Start a new project. Form1 is created by default.
2. Add a PictureBox control to Form1.
3. Add an MSChart control so that it is inside the PictureBox control.
4. Right-click the MSChart control and choose Properties from the drop-down menu.
5. Select the Series Color tab. Change the Interior color of Series "C1" from Red to Purple. Notice that this also changes the Edge/Line Color to Purple as well. Click OK.
6. Add the following code to the Click event of Form1:

         Dim pic As Picture
   
         With Picture1
           'Size/position the picture box so that it matches
           'the MSChart control
           .Width = MSChart1.Width
           .Height = MSChart1.Height
           MSChart1.Top = 0
           MSChart1.Left = 0
           'Get a picture of the contents of the picturebox
           Set pic = CaptureWindow(.hWnd, False, 0, 0, _
               .ScaleX(.Width, vbTwips, vbPixels), _
               .ScaleY(.Height, vbTwips, vbPixels))
         End With
   
         'Copy the picture to the clipboard
         Clipboard.Clear
         Clipboard.SetData pic
   						

7. Add a Module to the project.
8. Add the code in step 6 in the MORE INFORMATION section of the following article to the Module:
