RE: Custom Menu/Event Trapping

[Software FX]

You cannot trap the Menu event because this event is only fired when the programmer creates its own menu as opposed to customizing the chart menus through the commands interface. You will have to trap the UserCommand. We added some code that will let you know the point/series the user clicked on (-1 if the click was on the chart background) but you will have to wait for service pack 4.5.18.0

This is the code that you will need

<script language="javascript">

<!--

function CHART_HIWORD(lValue) {

	nHi = (lValue & 0xFFFF0000) / 0x10000;

	return(nHi);

}

-->

</script>

<script language="javascript">

<!--

function CHART_LOWORD(lValue) {

	return(lValue & 0x0000FFFF);

}

-->

</script>

<script language="javascript" for="Chart1" event="UserCommand(wParam, lParam, nRes)" >

<!--

	lValue = Chart1.SendMsg(65,0,0);

	nPoint = CHART_HIWORD(lValue);

	nSer = CHART_LOWORD(lValue);

	alert( "UserCommand ID = " + wParam + "\nnSeries = " + nSer + "\nnPoint = " + nPoint );

-->

</script>

Conversation: Custom Menu/Event Trapping

Subject: Custom Menu/Event Trapping

Hello,

     I am using CFxIE and we are creating client-side custom menus.  I need

to know how to trap an event so that it will give me the wParam, nSerie and

nPoint elements. I can use the UserCommand() but it doesn't give me the

nSerie or nPoint.  I can use RButtonDown() but it doesn't give me the

wParam. It would seem that Menu() would give me all the needed elements but

I cannot get it to work for me.

Any help with the use of Menu() would be greatly appreciated!

alert("Inside the UserCommand Event");

alert( "wParam = " + wParam + "\nlParam = " + lParam + "\nnRes = " + nRes );

Chart1.ReturnValue = 1;
