ChartHitInfo.CustomAxisLabel Property

Gets a custom axis label which is located under the test point.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

public CustomAxisLabel CustomAxisLabel { get; }

Property Value

Type Description
CustomAxisLabel

A CustomAxisLabel object, representing the custom axis label located under the test point.

Remarks

Use the CustomAxisLabel property to access the custom axis label located under the test point (if the HitInfoBase.InAxisLabel property returns true).

And, if HitInfoBase.InAxisLabel is false, the CustomAxisLabel property returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Example

This example demonstrates how to calculate the hit information for the chart element over which the mouse pointer is hovering.

To accomplish this, handle the ChartControl.MouseMove event, obtain the current chart element via the ChartControl.CalcHitInfo method, and if the element is not null (Nothing in Visual Basic), display its information.

namespace DetermineHoveredChartElement

    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()

        }

        private void chartControl1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            // Obtain hit information under the test point.
            ChartHitInfo hitInfo = chartControl1.CalcHitInfo(e.GetPosition(chartControl1));
            StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();

            // Check  whether the chart element is under the test point and if so - obtain the element's content.
            if (hitInfo.InDiagram)
                builder.AppendLine("In diagram");
            if (hitInfo.InAxis)
                builder.AppendLine("In axis:" + hitInfo.Axis.Name);
            if (hitInfo.AxisLabel != null)
                builder.AppendLine("Axis Label:\n" + hitInfo.AxisLabel.Name);
            if (hitInfo.AxisTitle != null)
                builder.AppendLine("Axis title:\n" + hitInfo.AxisTitle.Content);

                builder.AppendLine("Value: " + hitInfo.SeriesPoint.Value);
            }

            // Show hit-testing results 
            if (builder.Length > 0)
                text1.Content = string.Format("Hit-testing results:\n" + builder.ToString());
            else
                text1.Content = "Move the mouse\n pointer over\n the chart to see\n information on\n hovered chart\n elements.";
