By default, the ColumnsFormatLevel property is empty, so no columns are displayed on the chart. Use the ColumnsFormatLevel property to specify the columns to be displayed on the chart's section. The ColumnsFormatLevel property may display any visible or hidden column. For instance, the ColumnsFormatLevel = "0" displays the first column ( the column with the index 0 ), on the chart. The ColumnsFont property indicates the font to be used when showing the columns on the chart part of the control. The ColumnsTransparent property specifies the percent of the transparency to display the columns in the chart. The Visible property indicates whether a column is visible or hidden in the items section. The ShowTransparentBars property to specify a transparency to displays all bars in the chart. The SelBackColor/SelForeColor property indicates whether the selected item is highlighted in the chart section. 

The columns section displays the expanding +/- buttons only if:

• LinesAtRoot
• HasButtons
• Indent

are NOT set on 0. If any of these is 0, the expanding +/- buttons in the chart is not shown.

The following screen shot shows columns on the chart part of the control:

Here's a few samples of using the CRD syntax:

• "1:52", displays the column with the index 1 on a 52 pixels width.
• "|,1:52", aligns the column with the index 1 on the right side of the chart
• "1:52,\"\"[bg=255]:2", displays a red border to the right of the column with the index 1
• "1[bg=255]:52", displays the column with the index 1 with different background color ( red for 255 or RGB(255,0,0) )
