Hello,
I looked for the upper shadow and lower shadow properties at the financial price series. What i want to do is to display the upper shadow and lower shadow just like the sample you can find at this image: http://www.onlinetradingconcepts.com/images/candlesticks/CandlestickBasicsChart.gif
I would like to learn if the component supports this or not.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kadir,
Yes, the financial price series does support upper and lower candlestick shadows. Here's a screenshot of what a typical financial price series chart looks like. Also, you can download our samples browser, which has samples and code examples of various charts, including charts and indicators.

Hi Max,
Thank you for your answer.
I already have the samples browser but i cannot see the sample. Can you write which properties i should use or do you have a sample code.
Hello Kadir,
I wanted to see if you had any more questions on this issue or if the solution Max provided was sufficient.
Thank you,
Darrell
Your code looks right. It worked for me when I tried it in a sample. Your app is probably holding on to the old chart framework. Try clearing framework search path from the project's settings, remove the framework reference from the app, re-add the framework and then clean and rebuild the app.
I'm including your code sample in a project for your reference.
I updated the framework and your sample is working as expected. But my source still does not display the shadows. I am using real-time stock price info so i am pretty sure about the issue is not related with data. I am also using the Android version of the component and it works without any problem. So, i am sharing the sources i use to display the chart. Could you please help me to figure our the problem. I suspect the issue might be related with the data source paths?

Looks like you're using the version with the bug that I mentioned earlier. You should get the latest service release for NucliOS from our website. If you go to your keys and downloads page (https://es.infragistics.com/my-account/keys-and-downloads) and select NucliOS, towards the bottom of the page you should see a tab with "Service Releases". You should see a service release form last month, which fixes that bug.
Please find the code i am using below. May be it helps.
//item1.outlineColor = [[IGBrush alloc] initWithR:8.0/255.0 andG:204.0/255.0 andB:224.0/255.0 andA:1];
item1.outlineColor = [[IGBrush alloc] initWithColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]];
