WorkbookBase.ActiveChart Property

Gets a Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Chart object that represents the active chart (either an embedded chart or a chart sheet). An embedded chart is considered active when it is either selected or activated. When no chart is active, this property returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Examples

The following code example uses the ActiveChart property to get the active chart for the current workbook and then makes the title of the chart invisible.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub HideActiveChartTitle()
    If Not (Me.ActiveChart Is Nothing) Then 
        Me.ActiveChart.HasTitle = False 
    End If 
End Sub
private void HideActiveChartTitle()
{
    if (this.ActiveChart != null)
    {
        this.ActiveChart.HasTitle = false;
    }
}
