[Solved] Bar series - animation on selection/hover

[Ron]

Hi guys,

Pretty new to XAML/Win8/telerik charts. I'm wondering if there's a good example for implementing an effect on hover/selection of a bar series so it highlights with a border change or do a transform. I figure this will need to use the visual state manager but there isn't any example of how this can be done for a chart.

I am on the latest version. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Ron

Sorted. Adding selection behaviour and specifying a selected palette enables highlighting.

<chart:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors>
 <chart:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors>
         <chart:ChartSelectionBehavior DataPointSelectionMode="Single"</chart:ChartSelectionBehavior>
</chart:RadCartesianChart.Behaviors>

And hover is of low low priority as it'll be mostly for touch devices.

Hi Ron,

We are happy that you have found the solution for your scenario. Indeed, using the selection behavior is the way to go. Regarding the hover state, we have not implemented it since we believe that most of the scenarios will be covered by tooltips/selections (and the fact the in touch environment hover is not defined). Nevertheless, we will be happy to hear more about the scenario that involves hover, whether it is a visual decoration or has an additional data presentation.

All the best,

Is it possible to highlight a Bar in the RadCartesianChart with a specific color and raise it in respect of the others like which is possible of animating a slice in Pie series? It's an Urgent requirement I have.

Hello Atul,

it is possible to highlight the selected series setting SelectionPaletteName to a specific value (for eg. Setting it to DefaultLightSelected) in conjuction with ChartSelectionBehavior.

It is not possible to apply translation to a specific bar series on selection.
