Manual title positioning: grTitle no effect

grTitle has no effect if the title of the chart is positioned manually ("Manual positioning" in the chart title window).

Languages that use a non-Latin character set

grTitle will use the selected non-Latin character set only if the associated project configuration uses UNICODE strings at runtime.
To check the selected option in the current configuration:
  1. In the "Project Explorer" pane, display the context menu for the "Configurations" option and select "Description".
  2. Display the "Unicode" tab: the "Use UNICODE strings at runtime" option must be checked.e
  3. Validate if necessary.
