public event EventHandler<AxisScaleChangedEventArgs> AxisScaleChanged

VB.NET

Public Event AxisScaleChanged As EventHandler(Of AxisScaleChangedEventArgs)

Event Data

The AxisScaleChanged event's data class is AxisScaleChangedEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Axis	Returns the axis whose scale mode, measure unit, grid alignment or grid spacing has been changed.
GridSpacingChange	Returns information about grid spacing changes.
ScaleModeChange	Returns information about scale mode changes.

Remarks

Note that the event args type depends on the current axis scale type. The following table shows dependencies between scale types and argument types.

Scale type	Args type
Qualitative	QualitativeScaleChangedEventArgs
Numeric	NumericScaleChangedEventArgs
Date-Time	DateTimeScaleChangedEventArgs
Time-Span	TimeSpanScaleChangedEventArgs

For Web Charts, handle the WebChartControl.AxisScaleChanged event.

Example

Handle the ChartControl.AxisScaleChanged event to obtain the axis‘ automatically calculated grid alignment and measurement unit values when the scale mode is automatic. The event arguments also contain the axis itself. This event occurs when the scale mode, measure unit, grid alignment, or grid spacing of the axis scale has been changed.
