Color of Candle Body and Candle Outline?

[ninZa]

Hi,

Can you show me the code to take the brushes of candle body (both up and down) and pens of candle outline (if possible, candle wick also)?

These colors are ones that can be seen and set from Data Series dialog.

Thanks.

The CandleStyle, the Body would be:

ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.UpBrush

The CandleOutline:

ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.Stroke

The CandleWick:

ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.Stroke2

Not to whine, but I'm curious about this as a general case. Wouldn't it take less than 60 seconds to add properties with meaningful names? And wouldn't that save you many hours of support time in the coming few years, not to mention time and frustration for users? Thanks.

The objects used for chart styles were made generically so they could be used among all chart styles, rather than have to code for specific chart styles, which we anticipate will only grow as 3rd party developers adapter their own chart styles.

The properties are very easy to identify now that the ChartStyles are exposed:

			else if (State == State.Configure)
			{
				SetPropertyName("BarWidth",		Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptChartStyleBarWidth);
				SetPropertyName("DownBrush",	Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptChartStyleCandleDownBarsColor);
				SetPropertyName("UpBrush",		Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptChartStyleCandleUpBarsColor);
				SetPropertyName("Stroke",		Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptChartStyleCandleOutline);
				SetPropertyName("Stroke2",		Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptChartStyleCandleWick);
			}

Thanks. But now the next problem prevents me from conditionally setting colors for candles (after a user clicks a custom toolbar button):
