cursor position of data point in xy plot


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

Hi:

I have multiple series in XY plot. I was wondering how can I get the

cooresponding cursor information for each data point in every series without

moving mouse? So I can set mouse to a specific position that is associated

with a data point when user want to. For example, the cursor was required

to set to the position that has the largest Y value in the series at the

beginning.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of data type should I define for the vResult when I use the

following method?

vResult = (short) m_pChartFX->PaintInfo(CPI_MARKERTOPIXEL,(short) vData);

I tried WORD type, but doesn't work. I also tried PaintInfo2 methods as

follows.

m_pChartFX->PaintInfo2(CPI_MARKERTOPIXEL, vData, (struct tagVARIANT *)

vResult);

I'm using VC++ environment.

What's wrong with my code?

From the help file:

CPI_MARKERTOPIXEL

Description Transform the correspondent nSerie-nPoint to

coordinates relative to the chart window.

Setting LOWORD = nSerie HIWORD = nPoint

Return Value Setting nSerie to -1 will obtain center of that

marker.

LOWORD = X HIWORD =Y

In other words, your VARIANT needs to contain a 32-Bit integer in

which the LOWORD is the series index and the HIWORD is the Point Index.

The return value is another variant that also contains a 32-Bit

integer containing the X-Coordinate in the LOWORD and the Y-Coordinate in

the HIWORD.

Still not working with the following code. It caused crashed of my program.

void Test(int SeriesIndex, int nPoints)

{

DWORD vData,vResult;

vData= MAKELONG(SeriesIndex, nPoints);

vResult = (short) m_pChartFX->PaintInfo(CPI_MARKERTOPIXEL,(short) vData);

}

Any more suggestion?
