Detect Axis Click

Talal Nehme posted over 15 years ago

Hello,

Is there a way to detect when the user clicks on an Axis?

I am trying to modify the code from

http://news.infragistics.com/forums/p/10441/46970.aspx#46970 because I have multiple Y axis in multiple layers in a composite chart, and I want the user to be able to move only 1 Y axis at a time.

Is there a way to return the location of the Axis or a hittest that will return a boolean if the current click was over the axis?

Thanks in advance

I wrote the following code to drag the "Nearest" Y axis, but I still haven't found a way to detect an actual click or hover ON or above the axis itself (I would like to be able to change mouse cursor when hovering over an axis before moving it, for example)

I added functionality for detecting click on the axis:

public class MovingAxisTool : InteractionTool

{
private const int range = 20;
private Point prevPoint;
private AxisItem axisItem;
/// <summary>

/// Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="MovingAxisTool"/> class.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="ultraChart">The ultra chart.</param>
public MovingAxisTool(UltraChart ultraChart): base(ultraChart)
{

}

/// <summary>

/// Determines whether this tool can start.

/// </summary>

/// <returns>

/// <c>true</c> if this tool can start; otherwise, <c>false</c>.

/// </returns>
public override bool CanStart()
{
Point viewPoint = this.LastInput.ViewPoint;foreach (ChartArea area in this.UltraChart.CompositeChart.ChartAreas)
{
Rectangle areaBounds = area.InnerBounds;
areaBounds.Height += range / 2;
if (areaBounds.Contains(viewPoint))
{
foreach (AxisItem item in area.Axes)
{
if (item.axisNumber == AxisNumber.X_Axis)
{

this.axisItem = item;
break;
}

}
break;
}

}
foreach (ChartLayerAppearance layerApp in this.UltraChart.CompositeChart.ChartLayers)
{
ChartLayer chartLayer = layerApp.ChartLayer;Rectangle chartBounds = chartLayer.OuterBound;
chartBounds.Height += range / 2;
if (chartBounds.Contains(this.LastInput.ViewPoint))
{

IAdvanceAxis axis = chartLayer.Grid["Y"] as IAdvanceAxis;
if (axis == null)
{
continue;
}
double diff = Math.Abs(axis.MapMinimum - viewPoint.Y);if (diff <= range)
{
return true;
}

}

}
return false;
}

/// <summary>

/// Called when this tool starts.

/// </summary>
public override void Start()
{
base.Start();
this.prevPoint = this.LastInput.ViewPoint;
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.SizeNS;
}

/// <summary>

/// Called when this tool is started and the mouse is moved.

/// </summary>
public override void MouseMove()
{
base.MouseMove();
int dy = this.LastInput.ViewPoint.Y - prevPoint.Y;
int newExtend = this.axisItem.Extent - dy;if (newExtend < 0)
{

newExtend = 0;

}
if (newExtend > 500)
{

newExtend = 500;

}
this.axisItem.Extent = newExtend;
this.prevPoint = this.LastInput.ViewPoint;
this.InvalidateView(CacheLevel.ImageLevelCache);
}

/// <summary>

/// </summary>
public override void Stop()
{
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;base.Stop();
}
