How to find out the Chart type: OHLC, Candle sticks or a line?

[Wessel]

Hi,

I'm would like to know if the user configured CandleSticks or uses a different plotting style for it's charts. How can I find out what is selected?


Background
I am coloring the bars in red, blue or green. However the value of the candles totaly looses it's meaning. So I would like to create the common filled and open candles. However if the user selected OHLC these bars disapear if made transparent body.

Many thanks in advance,
Wessel

I got something that looks like working although after changing the chart from Candles into OHLC or visa versa, it does not update correctly.
What I've found that works for now is:

if(ChartControl.ChartStyleType == ChartStyleType.CandleStick){
 //Do your candle stick thing
}
