ChartControl ChartStyleType

[jbenton]

Hello,

I have not been able to figure out the NT8 method for determining the chart type.

For example, in NT7 I would do the following via ChartControl to determine if the chart type was Candlestick:


if (ChartControl.ChartStyleType == ChartStyleType.CandleStick)
{
// do something
}

How can I do the equivalent in NT8?

Thanks for your help!

I have not tested this myself, so I'm not sure if its 100% correct, but I believe what you're looking for goes something like this ...

if (ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyleType() == ChartStyleType.Box)
ChartStyleType.CandleStick
ChartStyleType.LineOnClose
ChartStyleType.OHLC
ChartStyleType.PointAndFigure
ChartStyleType.KagiLine
ChartStyleType.OpenClose
ChartStyleType.Mountain
{
// pick one and do something with it here
}

Hello jbenton,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

Member gubbar924 was close (thank-you), you would want to test using:

if (ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyleType == ChartStyleType.Box)
{
// do something
}
