Description Whookie 2013-11-12 10:17:55 EST

When you compile (DXE4/Win32) the attched demo you can use the "Up"/"Down" buttons to raise or lower the blue series (Series4). By doing so the red SeriesBand changes its color (even though neither Color nor Transparency is touched)!

So basically what I need is a constant "color" for the SeriesBand. Because in my Chart are a lot of Series, which can be brought to front (by clicking on it), but that should not change the SeriesBands-look.

Confirmed. Thanks for reporting.

The problem is in that case (Series1 and Series2 both enabled), and DrawBehind, the colorband is being painted twice when series2 paints after series1, and as it has transparency, two semi-transparent bands are overlapping.

The up/down series order determines which series (1 or 2) will be painted first, and so if makes the band to be wrongly painted twice.

Fixed. A new internal flag controls and prevents the color band to painted twice.

Also improved the Color Band Editor dialog to include the "Bound Value" property, used when Series2 is not used.
