chart visibility

Is there a way to may a chart show up if there is no data shwoing up. I
have a pie chart and when there is nothing to sum it doesnt show, I would
either like it to show up or display a message in lieu of that.
ThanksThe chart has a "NoRows" property where you can enter text that will show up
when there is no data

Font and TextAlign properties on the chart component.
