QueryChartCursorEventArgs.Cursor Property

Gets or sets the mouse cursor currently being shown for the chart.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public Cursor Cursor { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property Cursor As Cursor

Property Value

Type	Description
Cursor	A Cursor object.

Remarks

To obtain the custom cursor type in the ChartControl.QueryChartCursor event handler, use the QueryChartCursorEventArgs.CursorImage property.

Example

This example shows how to display a custom cursor when the mouse pointer is hovering over the chart control.

To accomplish this task, handle the ChartControl.QueryChartCursor event and assign your custom image (e.g., a BitmapImage object loaded from application resources) to the QueryChartCursorEventArgs.CursorImage property.

Note that you need to include your image in the project and set the QueryChartCursorEventArgs.Cursor property to None to see the custom image in the chart control.
