The example below runs ok with version 3.2 showing in legend colors red, yellow, white, turquoise and blue.
With the latest 4.1 version the colors shown are wrong (some colors shown twice)
To use the example just create a form test.vb in windows.forms vb project referencing the appropriate teechart version
and replace the contents of created test.vb with code below.
Code: Select all
