|---|---|
| InvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object) | When overridden in a derived class, provides a way to invoke event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase efficiency over the base implementation. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs. |

Remarks
The CustomDrawSeries event is raised before every series is painted. The event parameter’s CustomDrawSeriesEventArgs.Series property provides the series whose specific series options are to be determined. And the CustomDrawSeriesEventArgs.DrawOptions property provides the drawing options specific to each series.
The CustomDrawSeries and ChartControl.CustomDrawSeriesPoint events are always raised in the following order.
- The CustomDrawSeries event for the first series in the chart’s Diagram.Series collection. The first series in the series collection is a Series for which the SeriesCollection.IndexOf method returns 0.
- The CustomDrawSeriesPoint event for all the series points of the first series.
- The CustomDrawSeries event for the second series in the chart’s Diagram.Series collection.
- The CustomDrawSeriesPoint event for all the series points of the second series.
- …and so on, for all the other series and their points.
