Positioning a Certain Bar in the Chart Window or Scrolling Chart

[dontpanic]

Hi,

I'm basically trying to scroll the chart programmatically. I would like to be able to position a certain bar in the middle of the chart so that I can then screenshot it. the whole process is triggered by a button push on a form that is instatiated from within the indicator

I've tried -

setting the chart to the foreground and active window and then using
SendKeys.Send("{RIGHT}")

also

trapping the mousedown and using the same SendKeys.

Neither seems to work. I've read that another way to do it is to call the method that would be called when the right arrow is actually pressed, but I dont know what that method is.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Edit....

The SendKeys.Send() does appear to be working. If I substitute

SendKeys.Send("{F12}")

then the draw text dialog appears, just as if I had pressed F12 on the keyboard. It seems that its just not responding to the right arrow send.

Thanks,
Will.

Hi Will, there's the more direct KeyDown event from the Control as well you could work with - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.90).aspx

For the SendKeys, would you get a more consistent outcome using SendKeys.SendWait?
