I have a TAreaSeries.
With Stairs:=True the method Clicked(X,Y) doesn't work properly.
Thanks.

Hi Alessandro,

It works fine for me here using TeeChart Pro v7.07 and this code:

procedure TForm1.Chart1MouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
  Y: Integer);
var index: Integer;
begin
  index:=Series1.Clicked(X,Y);

  if index<>-1 then Chart1.Title.Text[0]:=IntToStr(index);
end;

procedure TForm1.Series1Click(Sender: TChartSeries; ValueIndex: Integer;
  Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  Chart1.Title.Text[0]:=IntToStr(ValueIndex);
end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Series1.FillSampleValues();
  Series1.Stairs:=true;
end;

Which TeeChart version are you using? If the problem persists, could you please send us an example we can run "as-is" to reproduce the problem here?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Hi Alessandro,

Thanks for the example.

It works fine for me here using v7.07. Please notice that for an area to be drawn you need 2 points, that's why in your example, which has 5 points, Series1.Clicked(X,Y) only returns values from 0 to 3.

I have a problem sending you the attachment. Please can you modify the example as follows:

1) Clone the AreaSeries
2) Change the color of the new AreaSeries to blue and set Stairs:=False.
3) now you have two serieses: the first one is red with Stairs=True, the other one is blue with Stairs=False.
4) Try to move the mouse over the red series.

Thanks.

Hi Alessandro,

I've done that but all series indexes are still correct. Could you please try sending the example directly to me or make it available via http://www.yousendit.com?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alessandro,

We could finally reproduce the problem here. It can be sumarized with this code:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Chart1.View3D:=false;

  Series1.Add(700);
  Series1.Add(1000);
  Series1.Add(500);
  Series1.Add(1000);
  Series1.Add(300);

  Series1.Stairs:=true;
end;

procedure TForm1.Chart1MouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
  Y: Integer);
var index: Integer;
begin
  index:=Series1.Clicked(X,Y);

  if index<>-1 then Chart1.Title.Text[0]:=IntToStr(index)
  else Chart1.Title.Text[0]:='No Series';
end;

Moving the mouse around the top of each area section makes Clicked method return wrong values. This is a bug which I've added to our defect list (TV52011421) to be fixed for future releases.
