How to display a time tag for a vertical line?
22 Apr 2022, 17:54

Hello,

I know how to draw a vertical line in a chart.

ChartVerticalLine _verticalLine = Chart.DrawVerticalLine("Vert.Line", timeValue, Color.LightSkyBlue, 1, LineStyle.Dots);

But I want to know how to make the vertical line always display its time tag, like pressing down the mouse middle wheel, the crosshair will show the time tag at X-axis always?

Please advise,

Thanks.

Hi,

To show the time on x axis you have to set the line IsInteractive property to true.

RE:

Oh, thanks. I just realised.

Generally, if the object in chart is IsInteractive = True, is there any way to get rid of the highlight when the mouse hovers over? Maybe not, I guess...

Hi,

You can try setting the IsLocked property of object to True, this will lock the object and user will not be able to update the object unless it's unlocked.

Oh, yes, I tried locking the object, but the highlight is still there when hovering over it. Anyway, it's a tiny issue here.

Thanks for the reply again. :)
