Example

This example demonstrates how the Print and Export functionality relies upon the ChartOptionsPrint.PrintCrosshair property. The Ribbon control contains two items: the Show Print Preview button and the Print Crosshair check button. The Chart Control displays the Crosshair Cursor on mouse click. When the check button is checked, the Crosshair Cursor that the Chart Control currently shows will be printed:

C#

private void OnChartControlMouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
    var diagram = (XYDiagram)chartControl.Diagram;
    diagram.ShowCrosshair(e.Location.X, e.Location.Y);
}

private void OnShowPrintPreviewItemClick(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e) {
    chartControl.ShowPrintPreview();
}

private void OnPrintCrosshairItemClick(object sender, ItemClickEventArgs e) {
    chartControl.OptionsPrint.PrintCrosshair = bciPrintCrosshair.Checked;
}

VB.NET

Private Sub OnChartControlMouseUp(sender As Object, e As MouseEventArgs)
    var diagram = CType(chartControl.Diagram, XYDiagram)
    diagram.ShowCrosshair(e.Location.X, e.Location.Y)
End Sub

Private Sub OnShowPrintPreviewItemClick(sender As Object, e As ItemClickEventArgs)
    chartControl.ShowPrintPreview()
End Sub

Private Sub OnPrintCrosshairItemClick(sender As Object, e As ItemClickEventArgs)
    chartControl.OptionsPrint.PrintCrosshair = bciPrintCrosshair.Checked
End Sub
