Description narcís calvet 2014-03-12 07:25:27 EDT

As the following code, if open value < close value then the candle color is red. And if open value > close value then the candle color is green.
I want the candle be white when open value = close value, how can it be done?
By my code, the candle is sometimes red and sometimes green when open value = close value.

CODE: SELECT ALL
candle1.Style = Steema.TeeChart.Styles.CandleStyles.CandleBar;
candle1.UpCloseColor = Color.Red;
candle1.DownCloseColor = ColorGreen;

An easy option might be making Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Candle.CalculateColor method public so that it can be overriden in a custom series class. A better option would be adding a new property, eg.: Candle.SameCloseColor. It may need to be disabled by default to not brake backwards compatibility.

New "SameCloseColor" property added, with default Empty colour. If the colour is set to something other than empty, then this colour will be used when the UpClose and DownClose values are the same.
