Graphing Control

[gongchengshi]

We are going to need to go on a field trip for this one. Go to: http://finance.google.com/finance?q=.DJI%20.IXIC%20.INX If that link doesn't work you can go to: http://finance.google.com/finance and click on the graph on the right side of the page under "Market Summary" What you see when you get there is a brilliant little flash applet that creates a real-time interactive graph. Play around with it a little. You can grab the sliders at the bottom of the graph and adjust the period of time that you want to look at. Pretty nifty. I would love it if I could find either a .Net, MFC, Java (or even Flash) control/component/module/library that would allow me to have this sort of functionality in a stand alone application. The one at the link is made by Google apparently but I don't think they have released the source. I have seen tons of graphing/charting libraries (nevron, dundas, dotnetcharting, ZedGraph, ChartFX...). None of them provide this interactive capability. Does anyone out there know of such a thing? I'll go commercial or free which ever provides the functionality. If not, someone should make one. It's money in the bank.

Not sure. You named all the ones I use ( dundas, ChartFX, etc ).

No kidding.

I found the flash code for the applet on the Google finance site. They call it a time-series graph and it is written in actionscript 3. http://code.google.com/p/time-series-graph/ I don't know how to make standalone apps that embed flash so I am still looking for a .Net or MFC control. If anyone knows of a way to embed flash into a .Net or MFC application. I would love to know about it.
