Changing colors in ppt-charts

[Gaby]

High,

I'm trying to change colors in ppt-charts by vb.net! It seems to work (hard job to get so far!!) but a click into the chart just re-change the colors to the original ones!

Is there any hope for help!!!!!

You can change colors in charts using VB.Net. You should be working
with the .colorindex property which is a number from 1 to 56 and not
the RGB property.

Also the colors cannot be changed for most of the indices in a MS
Graph chart but they can be changed in Excel charts.

And the order of the indices is not intuitive since MS didn't change
the original index order when it went from 16 colors to 56 colors. See
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00249.htm for the order of the
index colors.
