The Header Control is representing the time axis of the Time Chart. The object of type NtHeaderControl can be placed anywhere and can have any size. But in most cases it makes sense to place it either on top or to the bottom of the NtTimeChartControl and make it the same width. Below please see an example of a simple Time Chart with the Header Control placed on top:
