I am drawing a Ganttchart. Some of the bar items drawn are single days and some are periods.

The bars which are single days are obviously very small and hard for a user to click on.

How can I code to detect the user clicking on the actual label above/on the bar, and work out which one they have clicked on ?

cheers

Hi Mat,

how about using the OnMouseEnter event for the Series or the OnMouseMove event and the Clicked method of the Series ?

the problem is that the bars are displayed very small on the chart (they are just single days and the chart shows a full year). Even with the Series.clicked , it only reacts to clicking on the actual bar, not the "bigger" mark text i.e even though the bar is small, the mark text shows something such as "Review Meeting"

I want the user to be able to click on this text and not worry about trying to click 5 times trying to get the mouse on a small bar.

Hi Mat,

A trick could be the change the mouse cursor when the mouse is over the Series (using the Clicked method in the OnMouseMove event).

I want the user to be able to click on this text and not worry about trying to click 5 times trying to get the mouse on a small bar.

In that case, to do this you will have to use the Clicked method of the TSeriesMarks in the OnMouseMove event.

thanks very much for your patience and quick reply.

I'll give it a go this afternoon

thanks again

Mat
