StyleButtons

Want to access your most frequently used ChartStyles quickly? StockCharts allows you to save your most used ChartStyles and find them easily using StyleButtons, which you can find on the left side of the chart panel in SharpCharts. You can customize these buttons by changing their position and adding colors and labels to identify the different styles easily. Once you do that, you can access your most used ChartStyles with just one mouse click.

To create and save a StyleButton, start by clicking on the blue ChartStyles icon, on the far left side of the screen immediately above the chart. This will open a dropdown menu containing all your existing ChartStyles. Hovering over each style will show a set of four icons -- a pencil, a trash can, a star, and a bookmark. Click on the bookmark icon.

Once you've clicked the bookmark, a new "Edit StyleButton" window will open. Here is where you can make your setting selections for the StyleButton, including position, label, and color. The ChartStyle will already be selected based on what you clicked before, though you can change this as well. Once you've made all your selections, click the green "Save StyleButton" button. Now, your new StyleButton will be saved to your account and available to use with your charts.
