Copy Chart To Clipbaord

	MemoryStream ^MemoryStream1 = gcnew MemoryStream();
	Chart1->SaveImage(MemoryStream1, DataVisualization::Charting::ChartImageFormat::Bmp);

The Microsoft chart control is included in .NET 4 and above. For .NET3.5 your application distribution package needs to include mschart.exe and install it as a prerequisite if it is not already on the users PC. You can’t simply include a .dll – mschart.exe needs to be run. (more…)

	this->SuspendLayout();

	chart1->ChartAreas[0]->AxisY->Title = L"Kg";

	//Set max / min
	chart1->ChartAreas[0]->AxisY->Minimum = 0;

	Chart1->Printing->Print(true);

Create a global title object

private: DataVisualization::Charting::Title ^ChartTitle1;
