Re: Display coordinates when mouseover series

[User (Legacy)]

Steve,

I've done it with the following:

Turn on the object's ability to track the mouse:

Private Sub Form_Load()

    Me.ChartFX1.TypeMask = Me.ChartFX1.TypeMask Or CT_TRACKMOUSE

End Sub

then store the value in the ControlTipText using the LButtonDown event of the object:

Private Sub ChartFX1_LButtonDown(ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer, nRes As Integer)

     Dim dblX As Double

     Dim dbly As Double

     Me.ChartFX1.PixelToValue x, y, dblX, dbly, AXIS_Y

     Me.ChartFX1.ControlTipText = "x: " & Format(dblX, "##.##") & " y: " & Format(dbly, "##.##")

End Sub

So when you position the mouse and left click the x,y value is stuffed into the ControlTipText.
