GoTo/Jump to Bar - Scroll horizontally

[Koepisch]

How can i jump to a specific bar (Number or date) per ninja script? I have added 2 Buttons in the menustrip (PREVIOUS, NEXT) and want to use them as trigger. Like "same time - next day". In the existing code i have a list which is holding the prior chosen bar datetimes.
Finally i want to press the buttons and the chart/cursor moves to/over the target bar and displays the related values of the bar in the data box.

Thanks for some hints, links or code snippets!

Hello Koepisch,
Welcome to the forum and I am happy to assist you.

You can play with the charts Horizontal Scroll bar with the below code, but let me add, this beyond what we can officially support.

HScrollBar hs = (HScrollBar)ChartControl.Controls["scrChart"];

To know the specific bar you can use the GetBar function. Please refer to our help guide to know more about it.

Thanks,

unfortunately i've tried this already and i can "move" the scrollbar but without moving the chart. So it seems that isn't possible this way. I try using SendMessage.
