Examples

The following code example creates a Chart and then uses the ChartObjects method to display whether or not the chart was created by Microsoft Office Excel.

private void UseChartObjects()
{
    this.Range["A1", "A5"].Value2 = 22;
    this.Range["B1", "B5"].Value2 = 55;

    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart chart1 =
        this.Controls.AddChart(this.Range["D2", "H12"], 
        "chart1");

    chart1.SetSourceData(this.Range["A1", "B5"], 
        Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns);
    chart1.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xlColumnClustered;

    Excel.ChartObjects chartObjects1 =
        (Excel.ChartObjects)chart1.ChartObjects();

    if (chartObjects1.Creator == Excel.XlCreator.xlCreatorCode)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("The ChartObjects was created by " +
            "Microsoft Office Excel.");
    }
}

Private Sub UseChartObjects()
    Me.Range("A1", "A5").Value2 = 22
    Me.Range("B1", "B5").Value2 = 55

    Dim Chart1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart = _
        Me.Controls.AddChart(Me.Range("D2", "H12"), "Chart1")

    Chart1.SetSourceData(Me.Range("A1", "B5"), Excel.XlRowCol.xlColumns)
    Chart1.ChartType = Excel.XlChartType.xlColumnClustered

    Dim chartObjects1 As Excel.ChartObjects = _
        CType(Chart1.ChartObjects(), Excel.ChartObjects)

    If chartObjects1.Creator = Excel.XlCreator.xlCreatorCode Then
        MsgBox("The ChartObjects was created by Microsoft Office Excel.")
    End If

End Sub

Remarks

This method is not equivalent to the Charts property. This method returns embedded charts; the Charts property returns chart sheets. Use the Chart property to return the Chart object for an embedded chart.
