zip file containing a vb6 project and a JPEG screenshot

Upgrading from Teechart v6 to Teechart v2014 v2014.0.0.1

Using TChart.Printer.PrintPartialHandle command to dynamically print text and Teechart. 

Find the text for Title, Axis labels, Legend, is significantly larger when printed out, than what is displayed on the screen. It prints correctly sized in Teechart v6, using the same code.

Has there been a change to Teechart v2014 I need to be aware of?

Attached is a zip file of a simple VB6 project showing the problem. 

Also included is JPEG screenshot showing the print result of it with text being larger.

The problem is produced when GDI+ is enable. Meantime, if you want fix the problem you can disable the GDI+. 

Thanks,

Thank you for advising to switch off GDI+. I am attempting to do this through code using command

    TChart1.Aspect.GDIPlus.Active = False

It gave a memory exception. Then read this article 

http://steema.com/wp/blog/2014/03/12/teechart-and-gdi-inside-a-dll/


So attempted to initialise a GDI+ object before setting GDIPlus to false. 

    tStartup.DebugEventCallback = 0
    tStartup.SuppressBackgroundThread = False
    tStartup.SuppressExternalCodecs = False
    tStartup.GdiplusVersion = 1

    GdiplusStartup token, tStartup, 0


    TChart1.Aspect.GDIPlus.Active = False


    GdiplusShutdown token


But unfortunately this has not worked. Can you advise on a possible solution as soon as possible?

Thanks
