GetDataDateVariable

Description

Returns the value associated with a data point in a graph in a DataWindow object when the values axis has the date datatype. You must call GetDataDate first to retrieve the line style information. (GetDataDate is based on GetDataValue and is documented in that entry.)

Obsolete method

GetDataDateVariable is obsolete and should not be used, because the DataWindow Web Control for ActiveX technology is obsolete. An obsolete feature is no longer eligible for technical support and will no longer be enhanced, although it is still available.
