How to allow a user to enter a value

[Mike Jones]

I like the DragPoint tool on the chart, but I have a need where I want to give the user the option to right click or double click on a point of a series and a text box appears above the point and allows the user to enter a value in instead of dragging the point.

I can capture a double click on the chart but it is associated with the chart location and not a point. It would be most convenient if the point I could drag would have a MouseDoubleClick event I could subscribe to it.

I do have the source, maybe you could suggest some code I could add to the source that would implement this?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

You can easily achieve what you request using code below. You should replace the constant values I'm adding for the text boxes values.

Code: Select all

		public Form1()
		{
			InitializeComponent();
			InitializeChart();
		}
				
		private void InitializeChart()
		{
			Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points points1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Styles.Points(tChart1.Chart);
			points1.FillSampleValues();

			Steema.TeeChart.Tools.DragPoint dragPoint1 = new Steema.TeeChart.Tools.DragPoint(tChart1.Chart);
			dragPoint1.Series = points1;

			tChart1.DoubleClick += new EventHandler(tChart1_DoubleClick);
			tChart1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(tChart1_MouseDown);
		}

		private int SeriesIndex = -1;
		private int ValueIndex = -1;		

		void tChart1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
		{
			for (int i = 0; i < tChart1.Series.Count; i++)
			{
				ValueIndex = tChart1[i].Clicked(e.X, e.Y);

				if (ValueIndex != -1)
				{
					SeriesIndex = i;
					break;
				}				
			}
		}

		void tChart1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
		{
			if (SeriesIndex != -1)
			{
				tChart1[SeriesIndex].XValues[ValueIndex] = 5;
				tChart1[SeriesIndex].YValues[ValueIndex] = 5;
				tChart1[SeriesIndex].Repaint();
			}			

			SeriesIndex = -1;
			ValueIndex = -1;
		}		

Hope this helps!
