      #include "ChartWnd.h"		
      
      Add next...
      
      CChartWnd 	m_ChartWnd;
      
   4. In your cpp file:
      --- In function void C...Dialog::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX),add:
      
      DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_CHART, m_ChartWnd);
      
      --- In function BOOL C...Dialog::OnInitDialog() ,add:
      
      if(!m_ChartWnd.Initialize())
         {
            return false;
         }
