I would like to produce a Doji or Candle Chart. I any of you have the "CandleChartDataDemo", please provide a link to it. If there are other demos of the Candle Chart for the Ulta Win Chart, could you please direct us in the Infragistic's programming community where to find them, and how to obtain them.
Explanations as to specifically how to program a Candle Chart or charts in general appears somewhat scarce.
For example I did find a 763 page PDF entitled "UltaWinChart4", where the Candle Chart is mentioned on 45, 55, 109, 567, 593, 594, 595, 610, 744, and 763, but on none of these pages is there even one code line as an example. CandleChartAppearance is mentioned on page 14. These are essentially heading references without explanation, that do little more than mention the existance of a property relevant to the Candle Chart. No code or examples are given whatsoever.
Page 109 describes "periodic labels of user defined labels", and contains code concerning this topic on page 109 and 110. This page gives the only code example, however limited for labels, in this entire 763 page document.
The closest thing to a substantive discussion of the Candle Chart or Doji chart is on page 55, but again no code examples whatsoever, just a few graphics.
The close mention to specifics for the Candle Chart is found on page 46, informing that there mut be five columns, a Date, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume. The content of the Volume column is only rendered when the VolumeVisble property is set to true, which by default it is set to false. What I have just give you is essentially the entire text concerning the specifications for a Candle Chart.
A "CandleChartDataDemo" is mentioned in this PDF document on page 10, 431, 435, 436, 437, 438, but I can not find this demo program anywhere. A search of the entire Internet produces no data as to the whereabouts of this demo, or where to obtain it.
If you have examples of the Candle Chart that programmers could examine please provide them.
Check out this online sample:
http://samples.infragistics.com/2009.2/WebFeatureBrowser/contents.aspx?showCode=true&t=WebCharts/Gallery/Financial/CandleColors.aspx~srcview.aspx?path=../WebFeatureBrowserVB/WebCharts/Gallery/Financial/CandleColors.src~srcview.aspx?path=WebCharts/Gallery/Financial/CandleColors.src
The sample has both html and code behind
Also, check out this page to get a better idea how to create candle series and what type of data goes into one of those:

While I have not as yet found a demo of the CandleChart, I did try and Bind a table to the UltraWinChart, with the 5 columns suggested in the documentation. This produced a big red error message on the chart, but unfortunately only portions of the error message show. That error message, such as I have reads as follows:
Chart Error: Youave ate least oned six columns, onee and fivec columns.Yes, this is confusing, because as you can see apparently the first few letters of each line except for the first are being chopped off. If you know what the full error message is, without the missing words or letters, please pass them on.
