TradingChart Methods

Adds new data points to the chart. Does not remove or replace the existing data points.

Executes the specified delegate asynchronously on the thread that the control's underlying handle was created on.

Executes the specified delegate asynchronously with the specified arguments, on the thread that the control's underlying handle was created on.

Begin update. Disables control repaints when a property is changed. Handy when updating status of many properties or setting data of various objects.

Brings the control to the front of the z-order.

Clears all trading data.

Retrieves a value indicating whether the specified control is a child of the control.

Copy the chart to clipboard image. Custom size can be defined via width and height parameters.

Forces the creation of the visible control, including the creation of the handle and any visible child controls.

Creates the Graphics for the control.

Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.

Converts given DateTime to actual X-axis value. Due to removal of non-trading days, the X-axis is not linear. Therefore, it is not possible to convert values outside the visible time range. Returns minimum or maximum axis value if given time is outside the range.

Disposes the chart and all its indicators and drawing tools.

Removes and disposes all Drawing Tools in the chart.

Removes and disposes all Indicators in the chart.

Begins a drag-and-drop operation.

Supports rendering to the specified bitmap.

Retrieves the return value of the asynchronous operation represented by the IAsyncResult passed.

End update. Enables control repainting, and refreshes the control.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Retrieves the form that the control is on.

Sets input focus to the control.

Gets a list of all time range buttons.

Retrieves the child control that is located at the specified coordinates.

Retrieves the child control that is located at the specified coordinates, specifying whether to ignore child controls of a certain type.

Returns the next ContainerControl up the control's chain of parent controls.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets a LightningChart instance which this trading chart API is built on. Gives you direct control of the chart, and allows customizing it in further level.

Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance.

Retrieves the next control forward or back in the tab order of child controls.

Gets the current data set as an Ohlc-data array. Returns the whole loaded data set, not only the current visible time range.

Converts CSV formatted data into OHLC data. Requires data to have the following columns: Date / Time, Open, High, Low, Close. Can have two optional columns: Volume, OpenInterest.

Retrieves the size of a rectangular area into which a control can be fitted.

Gets the time range of the current data set.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Gets the actual minimum and maximum double values of the time range X-axis. To get the start/end dates, use GetTimeRange() -method.

Gets the minimum and maximum values of the price Y-axis.

Conceals the control from the user.

Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance.

Invalidates the entire surface of the control and causes the control to be redrawn.

Invalidates a specific region of the control and causes a paint message to be sent to the control. Optionally, invalidates the child controls assigned to the control.

Invalidates the specified region of the control (adds it to the control's update region, which is the area that will be repainted at the next paint operation), and causes a paint message to be sent to the control.

Invalidates the specified region of the control (adds it to the control's update region, which is the area that will be repainted at the next paint operation), and causes a paint message to be sent to the control.

Invalidates the specified region of the control (adds it to the control's update region, which is the area that will be repainted at the next paint operation), and causes a paint message to be sent to the control. Optionally, invalidates the child controls assigned to the control.

Invalidates the specified region of the control (adds it to the control's update region, which is the area that will be repainted at the next paint operation), and causes a paint message to be sent to the control. Optionally, invalidates the child controls assigned to the control.

Executes the specified delegate on the thread that owns the control's underlying window handle.

Executes the specified delegate, on the thread that owns the control's underlying window handle, with the specified list of arguments.

Opens the security by Symbol. Uses the currently set time range.

Opens the security by Symbol. Manually define a new time range.

Performs scaling of the container control and its children.

Forces the control to apply layout logic to all its child controls.

Forces the control to apply layout logic to all its child controls.

Computes the location of the specified screen point into client coordinates.

Computes the location of the specified client point into screen coordinates.

Preprocesses keyboard or input messages within the message loop before they are dispatched.

Preprocesses keyboard or input messages within the message loop before they are dispatched.

Computes the size and location of the specified screen rectangle in client coordinates.

Computes the size and location of the specified client rectangle in screen coordinates.

Forces the control to invalidate its client area and immediately redraw itself and any child controls.

Removes and disposes the given indicator.

Resets the Text property to its default value.

Resumes usual layout logic.

Resumes usual layout logic, optionally forcing an immediate layout of pending layout requests.

Save the chart into a image file. Custom size can be defined via width and height parameters.

Save the chart into stream in given format. Custom size can be defined via width and height parameters.

Scales the control and all child controls by the specified scaling factor.

Scrolls the specified child control into view on an auto-scroll enabled control.

Activates the control.

Activates the next control.

Sends the control to the back of the z-order.

Set appearance, such as colors and fonts based. Overrides object colors you might have set explicitly.

Sets the size of the auto-scroll margins.

Sets the bounds of the control to the specified location and size.

Sets the specified bounds of the control to the specified location and size.

Set data to chart

Changes the used data provider. Affects the search bar and methods such as OpenSymbol().

Sets the customer-specific rest API key for the data provider. If this is not set, LightningChart's own connection will be used. Call this method only after DataProvider has been set, as changing DataProvider -property resets the current API key.

Manually updates the security information.

Manually set the time range of the loaded data. Can automatically adjust the current data set according to given time range. If no data has been loaded, the next data set loaded from a provider will use this range unless set otherwise.

Displays the control to the user.

Temporarily suspends the layout logic for the control.

Returns a String containing the name of the Component, if any. This method should not be overridden.

Causes the control to redraw the invalidated regions within its client area.

Verifies the value of the control losing focus by causing the Validating and Validated events to occur, in that order.

Verifies the value of the control that is losing focus; conditionally dependent on whether automatic validation is turned on.

Zoom the data to fit the whole graph. Use ZoomToFitVerticalPadding to leave some empty space above and below the graph.
