how to resolve InvalidActiveXStateException while loading chart?

[avinash]

Hi Rahul,

  I am getting following exception while plotting chart.

ex = {"Exception of type 'System.Windows.Forms.AxHost+InvalidActiveXStateException' was thrown."}

 This is my code:

FC = new AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash();

FC.Movie = Application.StartupPath + "FusionChartsFCF_Bar2D.swf?chartWidth=220&chartHeight=300";

FC.MovieData = chartURL;

FC.Play();

plz reply...how to resolve it

Thanking you,

Avinash

Hi Avinash,

You are getting this message because you are just creating an object of AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash(); and not adding FC into the Form's Control.

You need to use this.Controls.Add(FC); like the following code:

 

FC = new AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash();

this.Controls.Add(FC);

FC.Movie = Application.StartupPath + "FusionChartsFCF_Bar2D.swf?chartWidth=220&chartHeight=300";

FC.MovieData = chartURL;

FC.Play();

Hi Avinash,

If you don't want to add new control then you need not create a new chart Object. You can do the same as following way:

FC.Movie =

Application.StartupPath + "FusionChartsFCF_Bar2D.swf?chartWidth=" + FC.Width.ToString() + "&chartHeight=" + FC.Height.ToString();

//dataXML method

FC.SetVariable(

"dataXML","<graph><set value='10' /></graph>");

//dataURL method

FC.SetVariable("dataURL", "Path to XML file");

Otherwise try this:

int oldHeight = FC.Height;

int oldWidth = FC.Width;

int oldTop = FC.Top;

int oldLeft = FC.Left;

FC.Dispose();

FC = new AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash();

FC.Height = oldHeight;

FC.Width = oldWidth;

FC.Top = oldTop;

FC.Left = oldLeft;

this.Controls.Add(FC);

FC.Movie =

Application.StartupPath + "FusionChartsFCF_Bar2D.swf?chartWidth=220&chartHeight=300";

FC.MovieData = chartURL;

FC.Play();
