How to add a button to chart toolstrip panel?

[alex_bbfg]

Hello Support --

How to add a button to a chart toolstrip panel? I know how to create new toolstrip panel and to add button to it. I'd like to add button to existing chart toolstrip panel.

to create new toolstrip I use

ts = new ToolStrip();
ts.Name = "ts";
ts.Dock = DockStyle.Left;
ChartControl.Controls.Add(ts);

I think there should be something like ChartControl.Controls.XXX.Add(button);
What is XXX?

Please, help!

Thank you in advance.

Searching for toolbar and button or toolstrip and button should return a lot of previous work you can look at.

Actually the stuff inside of Initialize should go in OnStartUp otherwise you get a failed to initialize error everytime you put an indicator on your chart.
