I got a little further with it, but not as far as I hoped ...<br>
<br>
renwin.GetInteractor().Disable();<br>
renwin.SetInteractor(view.GetInteractor());<br>
<br>
... does the trick and makes it possible to use the chart inside the control, but only if<br>
<br>
* I don't use the load event handler but start the chart with a button afterwards<br>
* I don't do anything crazy like ...<br>
* * draging some other window over it and switch back to the chart<br>
* * or moving the chart window to my second screen.<br>
<br>
else the chart-only window appears and the original window gets messed up.<br>
<br>
My code:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 10px;">private void Start()<br>

<br>
renwin.RemoveRenderer(renwin.GetRenderers().GetFirstRenderer());<br>
renwin.AddRenderer(view.GetRenderer());<br>
<br>
renwin.GetInteractor().Disable();<br>
renwin.SetInteractor(view.GetInteractor());<br>
<br>
view.GetRenderer().SetBackground(1.0, 1.0, 1.0);<br>
<br>
vtkChartXY chart = vtkChartXY.New();<br>
chart.SetTitle("MyChart");<br>
chart.SetShowLegend(true);<br>
chart.GetAxis(0).SetTitle("Y");<br>
chart.GetAxis(1).SetTitle("X");<br>
<br>
view.GetScene().AddItem(chart);<br>
<br>
vtkTable table = vtkTable.New();<br>
<br>
vtkFloatArray arrX = vtkFloatArray.New();<br>
arrX.SetName("X");<br>
table.AddColumn(arrX);<br>
<br>
vtkFloatArray arrS = vtkFloatArray.New();<br>
arrS.SetName("Sine");<br>
table.AddColumn(arrS);<br>
<br>
vtkFloatArray arrC = vtkFloatArray.New();<br>
arrC.SetName("Cosine");<br>
table.AddColumn(arrC);<br>
<br>
table.SetNumberOfRows(NUM_POINTS);<br>
<br>
for (int i = 0; i < NUM_POINTS; i++)<br>
{<br>
arrX.SetValue(i, i * INC);<br>
arrS.SetValue(i, (float)Math.Sin(i * INC));<br>
arrC.SetValue(i, (float)Math.Cos(i * INC));<br>
}<br>
<br>
vtkPlotLine l_oPlot1 = (vtkPlotLine)chart.AddPlot((int)vtkChart.BAR_WrapperEnum.LINE);<br>
l_oPlot1.SetInput(table, 0, 1);<br>
