C++ Forms Graphs Charts "How to"

Background:
I'm pretty new to C++, so don't bamboozle me with anything too technical.
Also, my company is cheap, very cheap, and I have only got the standard
version of Visual Studio C++.

Problem:
I am looking to create some charts/graphs on my user interface, developed
using forms, something that acts like the performance graph on the Windows
Task Manager. I just assumed that VS would have some sort of graphing as part
of their forms toolbox, this doesn't appear to be the case. I've looked on
newsgroups and various support pages, but with no avail.

Does VS have a graphing capability, and I'm being a bit thick? Or do I have
to get some third party toolbox to do it??

You'll have to grow your own or get in a third party tool.

you'll get some idea there:

although it's C#, it could be used as any other .NET languages, including
ManagedC++

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw
one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war
is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

if your company is so poor you could consider #develop, it's free!
