Changing Cursor on ZoomIn Scroll Enabled

[Jake]

Is it possible to change the mouse cursor inside the ChartArea when zooming in scrolling is enabled?

Hi Jake,

When you have enabled zooming & scrolling on your chart area it automatically changes its cursor to Hand to hint the user he can zoom using the selection rectangle. You can disable this selection rectangle by finding the DragZoomLayerControl, responsible for zooming & scrolling functionality, and disable its interactivity like this:

void chartArea_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    var dragZoomLayer = chart1.ChildrenOfType<DragZoomLayerControl>().Single();
    dragZoomLayer.IsInteractive = false; // disable selection rectangle
}

The method ChildrenOfType is an extension method defined in the Telerik.Windows.Controls namespace so make sure you add a using statement.

You can also change the cursor of the series by specifying a new cursor in the Appearance property of the series definition like this:

<telerik:BarSeriesDefinition>
    <telerik:BarSeriesDefinition.Appearance>
        <telerik:SeriesAppearanceSettings Cursor="None" />
    </telerik:BarSeriesDefinition.Appearance>
</telerik:BarSeriesDefinition>

I have created a small sample application that demonstrates this approach. Please take a look at it and tell me how it is.

Best wishes,
