Bug 600

Summary: TColorLineTool fails to memorize the annotation text in a form resource.
Product: VCL TeeChart Reporter: h.hasenack <hans>
Component: ToolsAssignee: Steema Issue Manager <issuemanager>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: major CC: david, hans, sandra
Priority: High    
Version: unspecified   
Target Milestone: ---   
Hardware: PC   
OS: Windows   
Chart Series: --- Delphi / C++ Builder RAD IDE Version: RAD XE5

Description h.hasenack 2014-02-25 06:05:08 EST 
The TColorLineTool should introduce:

property AnnotationText:string read GetAnnoTationtext write SetAnnotationText stored HasAnnotationText;


that allows for storing the annotation text when AnnotationValue is false.

The value is not stored because the TAnnotationTool nor the TAnnotationTool.Shahe store it's text for obvious reasons.

Since the teechart editor allows me to set a annotation ext for the line tool, it should also me memorized in the form resource.

to reproduce:
Create new form with tchart
Add a TColorLineTool
Disable value for the tool, and set a custom caption
save the form
CLose the project and reopen
take a look at the form resourcee: the entered text for the colorline tool annotation is gone.

I require this to put labels on my markers in designtime!

It seems formatting isnt stored very well either. When annotation.shape.transparent is set to True, it isnt memorized either.

Fixed. The text shape is now stored, including Text and all the other properties like Transparency, etc.
