Dear Sir,
I have one chart, for example, Renko chart.
I need to read real-time and history data from many data arrays, for example, "10 Min", "30 Min", "60 Min", "Reversal 10 ticks" data arrays without opening of charts in chartbook - I need to have only one Renko chart in chartbook. How I may do it?

You do need to open the charts but the charts can be hidden. Refer to:

Thanks for your reply, I'll try it.
I have one more question - I need to implement VolumeByPrice study into my study. Could I do it? I didn't find source code of VbP.
Waiting for your reply, Alex.

Yes you can do something like that. Refer to:
ACSIL Programming Concepts: Accessing Volume at Price Data Per Bar

Yeah, I'm using sc.VolumeAtPriceForBars to get info successfully, I have another problem - how to draw VbP style bars. I used s_UseTool to draw rectangles for every price level like in VbP study, but it uses so many resources - chart is very slow after I apply it on 30 days of 1Min chart. But your VbP is drawing very fast. How I may to draw fast rectangles to create same shape of bars like VbP style?

You need to use the GDI for this:
