    I have a bar chart and I'm trying to get the name of the series when I click on the Label Element next to the bar.

    However, I can't find any documentation on how to add a click event to the label element (in the image attached, I'm talking about the $10000 label).

    I have a SelectedPointChanged event registered to my RadChartView control and that works great, but only works when the bar is clicked not the label next to it.

    private void selectionController_SelectedPointChanged(object sender, ChartViewSelectedPointChangedEventArgs args)
    {
     var series = args.NewSelectedSeries;
    }

    Also, in my example image above I would expect the series name to be "Test".

    Hello Kyle,

    Thank you for writing.

    RadChartView does not provide means for directly attaching a click event to the label elements. You can achieve your task by handling the MouseClick event of the control and after checking for the mouse and the labels locations: 
    public partial class RadForm1 : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
    {
        public RadForm1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
     
            BarSeries barSeries = new BarSeries("Performance", "RepresentativeName");
            barSeries.Name = "Series1";
            barSeries.LegendTitle = "Series1";
            barSeries.ShowLabels = true;
            barSeries.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(177, "Harley"));
            this.radChartView1.Series.Add(barSeries);
     
            BarSeries barSeries2 = new BarSeries("Performance", "RepresentativeName");
            barSeries2.Name = "Series2";
            barSeries2.LegendTitle = "Series2";
            barSeries2.ShowLabels = true;
            barSeries2.DataPoints.Add(new CategoricalDataPoint(141, "White"));
            this.radChartView1.Series.Add(barSeries2);
     
            this.radChartView1.ShowLegend = true;
            this.radChartView1.MouseClick += RadChartView1_MouseClick;
        }
         
        private void RadChartView1_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            foreach (ChartSeries series in this.radChartView1.Series)
            {
                foreach (BarPointElement pointElement in series.Children)
                {
                    BarLabelElement labelElement = pointElement.Children[0] as BarLabelElement;
                    Rectangle rect = CartesianRenderer.ToRectangle(labelElement.GetLayoutSlot());
                    rect.Offset(this.radChartView1.ChartElement.View.Margin.Left, this.radChartView1.ChartElement.View.Margin.Top);
                    if (rect.Contains(this.radChartView1.ChartElement.Wrapper.PointFromControl(e.Location)))
                    {  
                        RadMessageBox.Show(series.Name);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    I am also attaching a short video showing the result on my end.

    I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.
