Dispaly dynamically generated graphic data in Visual Basic?

I write math software and need to display some graphical information in Microsoft Visual Basic. The help menus aren't very helpful in finding how to display dynamic graphic data as it is generated. I need to plot points inside a window.

Does anyone have a few keywords, functions or a word to look up in the help menu that might show me?

Thanks

Jerry

    There are three ways to charts info in VB the easiest is the MS Chart Control.

    Do search on the "Microsoft Chart Control". This is available in the VB2005 and requires that you add a reference to the MS Chart Control under the COM tab. A new control will then be made available to you in the toolbox.

    You can use VB automation and MS Excel to send data to an Excell worksheet and plot it.

    You can use a picture box and GDI to creat your own BMP graphic of a chart.
