Specifies the template that defines the presentation of the Crosshair Cursor’s axis labels for the X-axis (Y-axis). This is a dependency property.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

#Declaration

public DataTemplate CrosshairLabelTemplate { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
DataTemplate

The template defining the presentation of the Crosshair Cursor’s axis labels.

#Remarks

This template uses the CrosshairAxisLabelPresentationData class’ object as the data context.

#Example

This example shows how to customize the visual representation of axis crosshair labels via their template.

To accomplish this, it is necessary to create a DataTemplate object that specifies the appearance of axis crosshair labels, and assign it to the Axis2D.CrosshairLabelTemplate property.
