I have a Donut chart working well (see attachment). When I hover over it the category shows its tooltip. I would now to make the Donut clickable. When I click on a category an event would let me know the clicked category for taking further actions. Is something like that possible?

I faced a similar challenge with donut charts in Kendo UI. Extracting categories can be tricky. I found using event handlers effectively helped pull the data dynamically. It's all about managing those interactions! slope run

Looks like the seriesClick event would be the way to go. Its event parameter has the category.

Excellent, thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for!

Your link is weird with prefix "http://" and reroutes to a random page.. Here's the correct link: https://www.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/documentation/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/stock-chart/events/seriesclick

Greetings
