ChartFX Financial - Newbie in ChartFX

[User (Legacy)]

Hello i am trying the ChartFx for the first time and it works great but I 

have some questions:

A am trying to adjust ChartFX to my language.  I am trying to change the 

name of the commands.  It works fine with this code:

chart1.Commands[(int) SoftwareFX.ChartFX.CommandID.Color].Text = "Litir";

I have Financial extension and I need to change the commands there also.  I 

can't find the CommandID for the Chart FX Financial packace.  For example I 

want to change the text/name of the Studies button on the Financial toolbar 

how do I do that?

I am using The rules to pass the data as you descripe in the manual.

finext.DataBinding.LowSeries = 3;

finext.DataBinding.OpenSeries = 1;

finext.DataBinding.CloseSeries = 4;

finext.DataBinding.HighSeries = 2;

finext.DataBinding.VolumeSeries = 0;

This works fina with day to day prices but I want to look up IntraDay 

informations.  Then I use another set of Data and I only pass the closing 

price data.  Is this enough?? Am I supposed to use ForceIndtradayCalc undur 

Compress?? Anyway if I do it like this no values are shown on X-Axis??

Best regards

Hello,

The Crucial methods here are Financial.GetFinCommandID using the enum 

FinCommandID

AND the Analytical.GetAnalyticalCommandID using the enum AnalyticalCommandID

Using these two methods we can get the Command from the Chart Commands 

Array.

The Financial Extension is heavy on the User Interaction and thus there are 

MANY commands

some which appear to overlap. Some commands are Financial Global Commands 

and some are Analytical Specific.

So for example there is a Studies command in the Toolbar which is disabled 

when you activate a Japanese Gallery.

And there are also Studies commands when the Analytical is activated.

See this Snippet:

// This command text will ONLY show up when you get tooltips on the ToolBar

int id = finext.GetFinCommandID(FinCommandID.Studies);

chart1.Commands[id].Text = "Toolbar Studies";

// Only can see this when you right-click on Prices Pane.

id = 

finext.Gallery.Analytical.GetAnalyticalCommandID(AnalyticalCommandID.PriceStudies);

chart1.Commands[id].Text = "Price Studies Pane";

// Only can see this when you right-click on Technical Indicator like 

Volume.

id = 

finext.Gallery.Analytical.GetAnalyticalCommandID(AnalyticalCommandID.TechnicalStudies);

chart1.Commands[id].Text = "Technical Studies Pane";

So basically if the command is "Visible" (not enabled/disabled) when a 

non-analytical chart is active it will be in the FinCommandID enum.

Regarding your second question,

If I am understanding you correctly you are trying to do intra-day but are 

passing only daily data. This is a contradiction. Intra-day is for when you 

have data hour-by-hour.

IntraDay charts together with compression is not a by-design feature and its 

behaviour may vary.

ForceIntraDayCalc is a method that tries to optimize your calculations. If 

you are passing data hour-by-hour but only want to see week-by-week we only 

force the intraday calculations when we absolutely need it, like a user 

defined button or the toolbar menu. It makes for better performance if you 

pass detailed data but don't use it.

Does this help?

P.S. the chartfx.extensions newsgroup is a much better place to post

I have the right kind of data for the intraday chart but I will work on it a
