Highlighting nearest Datapoint

[Matthew Monks]

Hi,
We are trying to highlight the nearest datapoint in a wpf line chart, and all our attempts have been unsuccessful.
The chart consists of 3 series of points. We have a tooltip when you hover a point (using the highlight property), but another requirement states that we should highlight the nearest point of the series when the mouse is not over the series.
Requirement: When the mouse is placed over the main chart area, the closest data point in terms of time should be highlighted with a small circle on each time series. This is done by taking only the x axis value of the mouse pointer position and highlighting the data point on each time series that has the closest x axis value on the chart. As the mouse pointer is moved around, the highlighted data points change in real time.
(note: Google finance has a good example of this.)

If there’s an easy way please let us know.
For what I could see, maybe we could achieve it if we could get the screen coordinates of an IChartDataPoint, but the X, Y on that class are not screen coordinates. Another way could be to get the ChartSegment of a point (point.ParentSegment it’s always null… maybe there’s something missing in my template?)

Any help will be appreciated.
