moving custom grid line based on mouse move event

[Venkatesh]

I am using telerik chart for silverlight. I created a custom grid line which should move as we move the mouse. Hence, I calculate the x intercept based on the x coordinate of the mouse. when I do it, there is always a gap between the cursor and the line. how do we solve this issue.
thanks

Hi Venkatesh,

You may use the approach shown in this help topic to achieve your scenario.

I did use that link to create a custom grid line using the following code.

 

 

 

 

 CustomGridline gridline = new CustomGridLine();

gridline.XIntercept = collection[0].Date.ToOADate();

gridline.Stroke =

 

new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Green);

gridline.StrokeThickness = .3;

tChart.DefaultView.ChartArea.Annotations.Add(gridline);

Then I move the grid line using the following code. I am not sure how to convert the position X to a date value. I cannot use TOaDate() as it gives some wrong date. if I use position.x -67 then I get somewhat close coordinates for the cursor but not exact. How do you solve this.

 

void ChartArea_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)

{

 

ChartArea plotAreaPanel = sender as ChartArea;

 

var position = e.GetPosition(plotAreaPanel);

 

double posX = double.Parse(position.X.ToString());

 

var x = plotAreaPanel.AxisX.ConvertPhysicalUnitsToData(posX -67);

 

AnnotationCollection cGridCollection1 = chart.DefaultView.ChartArea.Annotations;

 

    if (cGridCollection1.Count == 1)

     {

         (cGridCollection1[0]

 

        as CustomGridLine).XIntercept = x;

      }

}

I fixed this issue. I used chart area instead of plot area. That was the issue
