Hi, I’m wondering if the tick unit of the AutoTickDisplayDateAxis object in the status chart can be changed? I tried couple ways but it seems like it performs differently than a standard dateaxis object which you can easily change it. I hope there is a way to do it because I really don’t want to build a customized axis from scratch.
