problem painting 3D charts

[Keith]

We're having trouble getting the OWC11 chart control to paint 3D charts. 2D
charts work fine, but no 3D charts will paint correctly. We're hosting the
ChartSpace control inside an ASP.NET page and using the PivotTableList
control as its data source. Is anyone else experiencing this? Please help.

3D charts require directX version 7 and above. see if you satisfy those
requirements first.

I'm running DirectX 9.0c. Here's the output from DxDiag. Notice the Notes
section. That says "Direct3D functionality not available". Maybe that's it.
I'll look into it further and let you know what I find. I'm on vacation next
week, but I'll work more on it when I get back Thanks for your help. (bought

I finally figured it out. It was the DisplayBranding property of all things.
If I set that to false, even on the table as data source, the chart repaint
would crap out and I'd have to restart my machine to get it to work again.

Instead of using that property, I'm setting the visible style to 'hidden'
until data is loaded.
