Oracle Express Objects graph problem

I'm not sure if this is the correct newsgroup for a query on Oracle Express. I'm very new to using it, and having problems with ExpressBasic.

I'm using Oracle Express Objects 2.2 running on Windows 95, and have created a screen that consists of a series of graphs. One of these consists of four horizontal data lines populated using

call newcube5.AddMeasures("F.DEV_QUT")
call newcube5.AddMeasures("F.DEV_CPI")
call newcube5.AddMeasures("F.DEV_SPI")
call newcube5.AddMeasures("F.DEV_SMI")

where F.DEV_QUT, etc. are formulae stored in the express database. Express Objects uses the formula description to populate the XTickLabel container. However, the labels required are too long to fit, and though I've set XTickWrapLines to 2, they will not wrap. This is a known problem, and oracle haven't yet provided a fix.

To get round this, I've hidden the automatically generated XTickLabels by displaying them as white on a white background, and am trying to use textboxes with wrap enabled instead. However, I cannot find how to retrieve the description from the formula, or the values stored in the XTickLabels for each row of the graph, in order to populate the text boxes.

Can anybody help?
