SelectionChanged in a BarSeries?

[D Warren]

Hello,

I am using the ChartView with several BarSeries and want to show a popup, when a certain bar is selected.
What's the recommended way to accomplish this?

I was looking at http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radchartview-features-selection.html and tried to use the SelectionChanged event. However, it never gets fired.

I also tried retemplating the BarSeries.PointTemplate and using a transparent Button that overlays the Bar.
However, the Button's command is never invoked - not even when I set the BarSeries' HitTestVisible to true.

Thank you

Hello,

It seems quite strange that the SelectionChanged event doesn't get fired. Can you provide some code so we can trace the source of the problem?

Can you confirm that you have implemented the following:

• Subscribe to the event: 

  <telerik:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors>
      <telerik:ChartSelectionBehavior DataPointSelectionMode="Single"
          SelectionChanged="chartView_SelectionChanged"/>
  </telerik:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors>

• Implement an event handler with same signature:

  private void chartView_SelectionChanged(object sender, ChartSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
  {
      //Handle de-selection of the current point
      if (e.RemovedPoints.Count > 0)
      {
          var removedPoint = e.RemovedPoints[0];
          var series = removedPoint.Presenter as BarSeries;
  
          //Your code here
      }
  
      //Handle selection of the current point
      if (e.AddedPoints.Count > 0)
      {
          var addedPoint = e.AddedPoints[0];
          var series = addedPoint.Presenter as BarSeries;
  
          //Your code here...
      }
  }

Hi Petar,

Is there an example using MVVM and doing the method in the ViewModel rather than the codebehind?

[Petar Kirov]

Hi Xue Kun,

The ChartSelectionBehavior does not expose a SelectionChanged command which you can bind to your ViewModel, however you may use MVVM Light's EventToCommand behavior.

I hope this helps.
