Configuring a PieChart Object
A PieChart object has only a few configurable properties. The following example creates a
pie chart object and configures its properties.
dim chart2 As PieChart()
...
chart2 = New PieChart()
With chart2
.Title.Text = "Energy Dollars (thousands)"
.Chart3D = False
.CustomFormat ' "$#,##0,"
End With
Configuring a RichTextBox Object
A RichTextBox object has only a few configurable properties, including Top, Left, Height
and Width. Formatting of the text within a rich text box is done using RTF control codes.
Refer to RichTextBox Object.
Populate the MPR with Data
Once a MPR object has been created and configured, follow these steps to add data to the
MPR.
1. Use the Add method of the MPR object to create a data display element such as a Row
in a Grid object.
2. Define the data content of the data display element.
In general, the data content must be defined in the script immediately after the data display
element is created. Refer to the following examples.
Pie Chart Example
Sub Main()
'declarations omitted
...
For Each group in Report.Groups
consumption = group.Total(ValueType.RealEnergyNet) 'calculates
value of consumption variable
pieChart.AddData(group.Name, consumption) 'adds segment
to the pie chart
'gives the segment the group name
'assigns the segment the consumption variable
Next group
...
End Sub
