The NChartGridControl is data aware, which means that it is able to display the data series with the appropriate DataGridColumnStyle editor. For example if you want to create a date time chart, which displays the standard date time picker for editing, you just have to set the value formatter of the respective XValues data series to NDateTimeValueFormatter with DateTimeValueFormat.Date. For example:

lineSeries.XValues.ValueFormatter = new NDateTimeValueFormatter(DateTimeValueFormat.Date);

lineSeries.XValues.ValueFormatter = New NDateTimeValueFormatter(DateTimeValueFormat.Date)

Data series of type FillStyle are edited with the NDataGridFillStyleColumnStyle, which embeds the standard fill style editor.

Data series of type StrokeStyle are edited with the NDataGridStrokeStyleColumnStyle, which embeds the standard stroke style editor.

Data series of type InteractivityStyle are edited with the NDataGridInteractivityStyleColumnStyle, which embeds the standard interactivity style editor.

Data series of type MarkerStyle are edited with the NDataGridMarkerStyleColumnStyle, which embeds the standard interactivity style editor.

Data series of type DataLabelStyle are edited with the NDataGridDataLabelStyleColumnStyle, which embeds the standard interactivity style editor.

If Nevron.Chart.WinForm.dll is referenced by your Windows Forms application the NChartGridControl must be represented by the following item in the toolbox:

Drag and drop it in the form.

Right click on the grid and select Properties. The Properties Window must display the properties of the grid. In the up left corner is located the Categories View button - click on it. The exposed properties of NChartGridControl control must appear in the "Nevron NChartGrid" category.

If you have already inserted a NChartControl (or several chart controls) in the form you can bind the grid to the chart by selecting the chart control you want to manipulate with this instance of the grid from the ChartControl combo.

The grid has a built-in toolbar control which facilitates the most common user operations. Its visibility can easily be controlled by the ToolbarVisible property.

You can achieve the same result programmatically. The default name of the first newly created grid is nChartGridControl1 and that is why we will use it in the following example code:

// bind to a chart control
nChartGridControl1.ChartControl = chartControl;

' bind to a chart control
nChartGridControl1.ChartControl = chartControl

You can also easily control which of the grid toolbar buttons are available to the user:

// show only the update from grid and update chart buttons 
nChartGridControl1.ChartGridButtonsMask = ChartGridButtonsMask.UpdateSeriesFromGrid | ChartGridButtonsMask.UpdateGridFromSeries;

' show only the update from grid and update chart buttons 
nChartGridControl1.ChartGridButtonsMask = ChartGridButtonsMask.UpdateSeriesFromGrid Or ChartGridButtonsMask.UpdateGridFromSeries
