GetPointLabel event with Gantt Chart

[User (Legacy)]

Hello, I'm using the latest updated version of ChartFX 6.2 for .NET.

I'm building a multi-series Gantt chart with the cluster property on - so i 

can see multiple states per bar segment over time.

The Point.Tag property and TipMask with %L is working great to display 

custom formatted tooltips for each bar/point - that is working great.

However, I want to add a point label of a different text to some of the 

points - from what I read, the GetPointLabel event should do what I need - 

and I can get it to fire - but setting the e.Label property seems to have no 

effect...

The following code seems to have no impact on the labels - no labels 

appear... am I missing something?? THANKS!

Private Sub Chart_GetPointLabel(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As 

SoftwareFX.ChartFX.PointLabelEventArgs) Handles Chart.GetPointLabel

e.Label = "Test Label"

e.Handled = True 'how should I set this?

End Sub

The GetPointLabel event only gets fired if the Notify Style flag in the Axis 

object (Y-Axis in this case) is ON.

To turn this flag on you can do:

chart1.AxisY.Style |= AxisStyle.Notify;

One question though: Why don't you use the same approach with the Tag 

property to label those special points ? You can just set the Tag different 

for those points and hence the PointLabel will be different.

My goal was to have different tooltips than labels - and I'm using the Tag 

property for the tooltip text, so it wouldn't work for the point labels.

I was able to get around this by using the Annotation extension - THANKS for 

your help.
