Follow the steps to create your chart styles successfully

1. Click the ‘Get Form’ button to access the form and open it in the editor.
2. Begin by creating a Class Library project in your development environment. This project will hold one or more Chart Styles.
3. Add a reference to the WealthLab.dll assembly within the References section of your project, as this assembly includes the necessary classes from the WealthLab namespace.
4. Create a class or multiple classes that derive from the ChartStyle base class. This class is essential as it defines the structure for your custom chart styles.
5. Override the necessary abstract methods defined in the ChartStyle base class in your derived class, including Initialize(), InitializeBarWidths(), and RenderBars(Graphics g).
6. In the Initialize() method, set up any internal data structures required for the chart, particularly if your Chart Style is more complex.
7. Implement the InitializeBarWidths() method by defining the width for each bar in your Chart Style if you opt for variable widths.
8. Within the RenderBars(Graphics g) method, add logic to render chart bars using the provided graphics object. Ensure you loop through the appropriate range of bars and convert bar/price coordinates accurately.
9. Define relevant properties, such as FriendlyName and Glyph, which help describe your Chart Style and provide a visual representation.
10. Once you have completed your class, drop your Chart Style Assembly into the Wealth-Lab Pro installation folder and execute the program to check if your Chart Style is visible.
11. Finally, save your changes, download the completed form, print it, or share it as necessary to finalize your custom chart styles.
