Muse event when clicking on line?

[Iñigo]

Hi, I want to assign a mouse event to a chart line series, I have been able to do it using "SeriesDefinition.PointMarkItemStyle" and a pointMark template, adding the MouseLeftButtonDown event to it. Is it possible to do the same to the line itself (not just the pointMark)?
Thanks

Hi Iñigo,

You can do this by listening to the MouseUp event of the ChartArea and scanning the OriginalSource of the event. This should be done to insure the user has specifically clicked it instead of something else (a grid line for example). A recursive method can look like this:

private T GetParent<T>(DependencyObject obj)
    where T : DependencyObject
{
    if (obj == null)
    {
        return null;
    }
    else if (obj is T)
    {
        return (T)obj;
    }

    DependencyObject parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(obj);
    return GetParent<T>(parent);
}

and the event handler for the ChartArea MouseUp event:

void ChartArea_MouseLeftButtonUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    Series clickedItem = GetParent<Series>(e.OriginalSource as DependencyObject);
    if (clickedItem != null)
    {
        SeriesItemLabel_Click(clickedItem, e);
    }
}

Series is the base class for all series that are drawn in the RadChart. This assures that the approach is compatible with all series types.

The solution above is demonstrated in a sample application that is attached.
