Can OpenHighLowClose and additional Bar Chart and 2nd OpenHighLowClose chart exist on same Chart FX 2005 Chart?

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I have created a Chart FX 2005 Winforms Chart of type 

Gallery.OpenHighLowClose to display financial data, with an amazingly small 

amount of time, effort, and lines of code on my part, and now I would like 

to superimpose two more charts of data on top of this OpenHighLowClose 

chart:

1. A series of type "Bar", like "Overall Dow Jones Industrial Average 

Volume"

2. A second OpenHighLowClose chart by adding another 4 series, so I can, for 

instance, plot Pepsi stock's OpenHighLowClose chart and Coca Cola's stock's 

OpenHighLowClose chart on the same graph for comparisons.

Are the above 2 things possible, or is the OpenHighLowClose chart type 

specially hard coded in a way that prevents ADDITIONAL series of any type 

from being added to it as a kind of combination chart.

If it is possible to add more series to a OpenHighLowClose chart, could 

somebody be so kind as to point me to some working sample code?

Thank you very much in advance!

You can definitely do this, however this is more on the advanced side so it 

won't be as simple as what you did before, but it is still pretty easy.

If you are binding the data to the chart at design-time, you need to select 

a chart type that doesn't require a specific number of series, such as bar 

before going into "Adjust Data to Chart", otherwise the OpneHiLowClose 

validations will kick-in preventing you from achieving what you want.

Once you have selected the columns you wanted, you can then proceed to 

customize the gallery, since the gallery you want is not one of the 

pre-defined combinations that we provide in the Select Gallery wizard, you 

will need to do this through the property grid, select the Series property 

and change the gallery type for each series, you can then go ahead and 

customize the panes using the Axes and Panes wizard.

Note: We provide these more complex financial Charts in or Financial 

extension, soon to be released for Chart FX for Visual Studio 2005. Wizards 

are provided for accessing this functionality in a much easier way.

Hi,

Thanks a lot.  This worked perfectly.  The problem WAS that I was setting 

the gallery type of the chart.  When I set the Chart to have NO gallery 

type, and instead assigned gallery types ONLY to the series, it worked 

great.  I was able to get an OpenHighLowClose AND a bar chart on the SAME 

chart!

Thanks a lot!
