Examples

The following code example creates a Chart and then uses the ApplyCustomType method to apply the 3-D pie chart type to the chart. The example does not specify a value for the optional TypeName parameter because a standard chart type is being used.

Private Sub Create3DPieChart()
    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.xl3DColumn

    Chart1.ApplyCustomType(Excel.XlChartType.xl3DPie)
End Sub

private void Create3DPieChart()
{
    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.xl3DColumn;

    chart1.ApplyCustomType(Excel.XlChartType.xl3DPie, 
        missing);
}
