Parameters

Variable

Description

ID

Specifies the Control ID number. It must be an integer between 1 and 32767 and be unique within a given top level window.

x

Horizontal position of the upper-left corner of the control in current units.

y

Vertical position of the upper-left corner of the control in current units.

width

Width of the control in current units.

height

Height of the control in current units.

xLabel

The label that should appear on the x axis.

yLabel

The label that should appear on the y axis.

numSeries

The number of series that are to be displayed.

showLegend

An indication of whether a default legend should be displayed.
0 = Do not show legend
1 = Show legend

flags

Control flags, as follows:

Flag Description
$0001$ Sets the control to be initially disabled.
$0010$ Sets the control to be initially invisible.
$0800$ Draws a recessed client edge around the control.
$1000$ Draws a raised edge around the control.

Return Value

Returns the created BBjLineChart object.

Remarks

If the ID parameter is not specified, a control ID is assigned dynamically using getAvailableControlID().

If the x, y, width, and height parameters are not specified, they're all initialized to 0. This is typically for use with DWC windows that dynamically arrange their contents (window creation flag $00100000$).
