public enum StockLevel
<ResourceFinder(GetType(XtraChartsResFinder), "PropertyNamesRes")>
Public Enum StockLevel
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
Low |
Specifies the Low level of price data.
|
| High |
Specifies the High level of price data.
|
| Open |
Specifies the Open level of price data.
|
| Close |
Specifies the Close level of price data.

The following properties accept/return StockLevel values:
| Library | Related API Members |
|---|---|
| Cross-Platform Class Library | ReductionStockOptions.Level |
| WinForms Controls | ReductionStockOptionsModel.Level |
The values listed by the StockLevel enumeration are used to set the ReductionStockOptions.Level and StockPointOptions.ValueLevel properties.
This example creates a ChartControl with a series of the StockSeriesView type and adds this chart to a form at runtime. Before you proceed with this example, create a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio and include all necessary assemblies in the References list of your project.
