convert coordinates

[User (Legacy)]

Hi, All:

When I use PaintInfo with CPI_MARKERTOPIXEL to retrieve the pixel position

of a marker, it returns

coordinates of marker that relative to the chart window.  And the

coordinates change when you hide/show series legend.  I was wondering what

rule I should use if I want to convert this coordinate to screen coordinate

or client coordinate?

Thanks,

This coordinates is relative to the chart drawing area (without the legends,

toolbars and data editor), which is a window by itself. There is no API to

obtain this window handle but if you need it you can do the following trick:

chart1.MouseCapture = true

hwnd = GetCapture() ' Windows API

chart1.MouseCapture = false

You can later use this window handle to do ClientToScreen.
