RadDiagramRuler Get mouse position

[Loic]

Hi,

Is it possible to retrieve the position of the mouse on the ruler? I would like to display it in decimal in my control.

 

Best Regards,

Hi Michael,

You can use the MouseMove events of both the RadDiagram and RadDiagramRuler like so:

        private void RadDiagram_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            var viewport = this.diagram.Viewport;
            var pos = e.GetPosition(this.diagram);
            this.X.Text = ((pos.X / diagram.Zoom) + viewport.Location.X).ToString();
            this.Y.Text = ((pos.Y / diagram.Zoom) + viewport.Location.Y).ToString();
        }

        private void RadDiagramRuler_MouseMove(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            var viewport = this.diagram.Viewport;
            var pos = e.GetPosition(this.diagramRuler);
            this.X.Text = ((pos.X / diagram.Zoom) + viewport.Location.X).ToString();
            this.Y.Text = viewport.Location.Y.ToString(); // if you're using a vertical ruler, you can set the X value instead
        }

You can notice that I use the Zoom and Viewport properties to calculate the offset when zooming is applied. As specified in the comment, you need to set the X and Y values accordingly when using a vertical ruler instead.

Please have a look at the sample project I've prepared and let me know if a similar approach would work at your end.
