ChartHitInfo.InSeriesPoint Property

Gets a value that indicates whether the test point is within a series point.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public bool InSeriesPoint { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property InSeriesPoint As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if the test point is within a series point; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the InSeriesPoint property to check whether the test point is in a series point.

To obtain a particular element located under the test point, use the ChartControl.CalcHitInfo method.

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.
