Is is possible to have an interactive cursor for only one axis?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

Our Essential chart supports interactive cursor for both axis at same time. However It is possible to display an interactive cursor for only one axis. I have created a workaround to support this feature. Please have a look at this sample and let me know if this helps you.

I am trying to use the interactive cursor workaround for a simple click and drag vertical only line. I have tried using the provided sample but it is really complicated. I think I have it mostly figured out but it continues to draw the original line. Please advise to what I am doing incorrectly.

Thank you, Ronda

I don't understand how changing the shape of my cursor would fix the problem I am having here?! Everything in the sample I provided works as I would like it to except - The original vertical line deawn for the interactive cursor is not erased when you move the interactive cursor.

I realized that I am not doing a good job explaining what I need so I have decided to try again. The interactive cursor I am talking about is not the cursor on the screen but the actual syncfusion control called "InteractiveCursor" I want the functionality of the interactive cursor the ability for the end user to grab the bar and move it from one point in the chart to another. But I need for it to not have the horizontal line. I am posting to this prevous posting because I thought it did what I needed to do so I implemented the work around (In a MUCH less complicated manner). I was able to get what I wanted almost working except for the fact that it does not erase the original line. Everytime I move the "interactivecursor" after the first time it erases it's previous location but the original is never erased. I Need the application to erase the original line once it is redrawn in a different location. Please find attach 3 images I hope will help to explain the problem I am encountering.

Thanks, Ronda

Hi Ronda,

Thanks for the attachment.

Since the Interactive cursor is drawn manually in the Chart by using the ChartAreaPaint event, we have to restrict the

rendering of this custom interactive cursor in some places of ChartAreaPaint event handler. This is possible by using

the below workaround.


chartControl1.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(chartControl1_Paint);

void chartControl1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
isOK = true;
}

private void chartControl1_ChartAreaPaint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
------
------
if (isOK)
{
for (int i = 0; i < interactiveCursors.Count; i++)
{
g.DrawLine(new Pen(interactiveCursors[i].Color, 1), interactiveCursors[i].Location.X, bounds.Top,

interactiveCursors[i].Location.X, bounds.Bottom);
}
}
}


I have attached the modified sample in the link below.
