TradingChart Methods

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

Adds a routed event handler for a specified routed event, adding the handler to the handler collection on the current element.

Adds a routed event handler for a specified routed event, adding the handler to the handler collection on the current element. Specify handledEventsToo as true to have the provided handler be invoked for routed event that had already been marked as handled by another element along the event route.

Adds handlers to the specified EventRoute for the current UIElement event handler collection.

Applies an animation to a specified dependency property on this element. Any existing animations are stopped and replaced with the new animation.

Applies an animation to a specified dependency property on this element, with the ability to specify what happens if the property already has a running animation.

Builds the current template's visual tree if necessary, and returns a value that indicates whether the visual tree was rebuilt by this call.

Positions child elements and determines a size for a UIElement. Parent elements call this method from their ArrangeCore(Rect) implementation (or a WPF framework-level equivalent) to form a recursive layout update. This method constitutes the second pass of a layout update.

Starts an animation for a specified animated property on this element.

Starts a specific animation for a specified animated property on this element, with the option of specifying what happens if the property already has a running animation.

Starts the initialization process for this element.

Begins the sequence of actions that are contained in the provided storyboard.

Begins the sequence of actions contained in the provided storyboard, with options specified for what should happen if the property is already animated.

Begins the sequence of actions contained in the provided storyboard, with specified state for control of the animation after it is started.

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

Attempts to bring this element into view, within any scrollable regions it is contained within.

Attempts to bring the provided region size of this element into view, within any scrollable regions it is contained within.

Attempts to force capture of the mouse to this element.

Attempts to force capture of the stylus to this element.

Attempts to force capture of a touch to this element.

Clears all trading data.

Clears the local value of a property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyProperty identifier.

Clears the local value of a read-only property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyPropertyKey.

Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the dependency property as it exists on the calling DependencyObject.

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

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.

Indicates that the initialization process for the element is complete.

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

Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject.

Returns the common ancestor of two visual objects.

Finds an element that has the provided identifier name.

Searches for a resource with the specified key, and throws an exception if the requested resource is not found.

Attempts to set focus to this element.

Gets list of all time range buttons

Returns the base property value for the specified property on this element, disregarding any possible animated value from a running or stopped animation.

Returns the BindingExpression that represents the binding on the specified property.

Gets a hash code for this DependencyObject.

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.

Creates a specialized enumerator for determining which dependency properties have locally set values on this DependencyObject.

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.

Gets the time range of the current data set.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Returns the current effective value of a dependency property on this instance of a DependencyObject.

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.

InitializeComponent

Returns the input element within the current element that is at the specified coordinates, relative to the current element's origin.

Invalidates the arrange state (layout) for the element. After the invalidation, the element will have its layout updated, which will occur asynchronously unless subsequently forced by UpdateLayout.

Invalidates the measurement state (layout) for the element.

Re-evaluates the effective value for the specified dependency property

Invalidates the rendering of the element, and forces a complete new layout pass. OnRender(DrawingContext) is called after the layout cycle is completed.

Determines whether the visual object is an ancestor of the descendant visual object.

Determines whether the visual object is a descendant of the ancestor visual object.

Updates the DesiredSize of a UIElement. Parent elements call this method from their own MeasureCore(Size) implementations to form a recursive layout update. Calling this method constitutes the first pass (the "Measure" pass) of a layout update.

Moves the keyboard focus away from this element and to another element in a provided traversal direction.

When overridden in a derived class, is invoked whenever application code or internal processes call ApplyTemplate.

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

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

Converts a Point in screen coordinates into a Point that represents the current coordinate system of the Visual.

Converts a Point that represents the current coordinate system of the Visual into a Point in screen coordinates.

Determines the next element that would receive focus relative to this element for a provided focus movement direction, but does not actually move the focus.

Raises a specific routed event. The RoutedEvent to be raised is identified within the RoutedEventArgs instance that is provided (as the RoutedEvent property of that event data).

Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists.

Provides an accessor that simplifies access to the NameScope registration method.

Releases all captured touch devices from this element.

Releases the mouse capture, if this element held the capture.

Releases the stylus device capture, if this element held the capture.

Attempts to release the specified touch device from this element.

Removes and disposes an Indicator

Removes the specified routed event handler from this element.

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.

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

Attaches a binding to this element, based on the provided source property name as a path qualification to the data source.

Attaches a binding to this element, based on the provided binding object.

Sets the value of a dependency property without changing its value source.

Set data to chart

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

Searches for a resource with the specified name and sets up a resource reference to it for the specified property.

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.

Sets the local value of a dependency property, specified by its dependency property identifier.

Sets the local value of a read-only dependency property, specified by the DependencyPropertyKey identifier of the dependency property.

Returns a transform that can be used to transform coordinates from the Visual to the specified visual object descendant.

Returns a transform that can be used to transform coordinates from the Visual to the specified visual object.

Translates a point relative to this element to coordinates that are relative to the specified element.

Searches for a resource with the specified key, and returns that resource if found.

Simplifies access to the NameScope de-registration method.

Reapplies the default style to the current FrameworkElement.

Ensures that all visual child elements of this element are properly updated for layout.

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