WebChart combined zoom and hotspot functionality
Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2007 1:09 am
Hi,
I'm currently playing with both the hotspot and zoom tool in the one ASP .NET 2.0 web form and I've noticed that the logic for the hotspots interferes with the zooming logic. I should note that this is without auto postback on the chart.
When zooming, a zoom operation cannot be started on a hotspot. Likewise after having clicked to start a zoom operation, if the mouse passes over a hot spot zone, the zoom region freezes at the hotspot region. The larger the hotspot regions are, the harder it is to use the zoom feature.
I have had to resort to switching between zoom and hotspot and not allowing both features to be active at the same time, but its a bit of a pain for the users to have to choose between the features every time they want to interact with the chart.
Is their a fix in the pipeline for this problem yet? I guess the generated javascript for the SeriesHotSpot Tool and the ZoomTool will have to be more aware of each other.
By the way, my browser is Mozilla Firefox. It works ok in Internet Explorer.
Thanks,
Andrew
