NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

#Declaration

public DataTemplate CrosshairLabelTemplate { get; set; }

#Property Value

Type Description
DataTemplate

The Crosshair Cursor’s series label template.

#Remarks

The template uses the CrosshairSeriesLabelPresentationData class’ object as the data context.

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

To accomplish this, it is necessary to create a DataTemplate object that specifies the appearance of series crosshair labels, and assign it to the XYSeries2D.CrosshairLabelTemplate property.
