Show info about selected point in MSChart (PointSelected)

I want to be able to show a tooltip when the user clicks on a point on a MSChart.
But how do I get it to run my function when the user clicks on the dots?

I found this function and tried to create a new one but it won´t run it.
"Private Sub object_PointSelected ( series As Integer, dataPoint As Integer, mouseFlags As Integer, cancel As Integer )"

Thanks

I got so I can get the function to run, when a dot is marked but how can I see which dot is marked?
How can I get any indata to my function?
I´m using

Private Sub Graph_PointSelected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxMSChart20Lib._DMSChartEvents_PointSelectedEvent) Handles Graph.PointSelected
End Sub

Thanks for help

Have fixed it now so don´t bother.

Can you please share me your code...

I cannot find any info on how to fill a chart using MSCHART....

Hello Dino.

Well it was a while ago i created that program. But after looking in the code again I will try my best to explain how I did it with some code.

First you need to put an MSCHART on the form and do the settings on rows, columns and so on.
I can explain it more later if you don´t find it.

MSChart.RowLabel = "Label" 'Sets the label for each column

In my case I used a datagrid and plotted the info from it.
So here is my code for inserting in the MSChart

'5 different columns
For i = 1 To 5
'Checking if the datagrid value is 0
If Datagrid(k, i) <> 0 Then
'Specifies which row I want to insert the info in
MSChart.Row = i
'Specifies which column I want to insert the info in
MSChart.Column = j
'Inserting the data in the MSChart.
MSChart.Data = Datagrid(k, i) - 1
Else
MSChart.Row = i
MSChart.Column = j
MSChart.Data = 0
End If
Next

In this case I had 5 values in every column.

Hope this helps a little.
If there is anything else I can do for you just write here or to my mail.
There is alot more you can do with the MSChart. I got another program where I do some more settings. But I don´t remember it at the moment.

CHeers !!!

How did you manage to get the pointer selecter ?

so so confused with all these charts...:(

Erhm...
Have to check another program to refresh my memory.
And here is what I got.

It ain´t easy with the MSChart. Took me alot of time to plot and to get the info about the dots.

I found a Procedure (Sub) called PointSelected.
When you got the codewindow, just choose the name of the MSChart in the left dropdownlist and then choose the function "PointSelected" in the right dropdownlist.
You can find alot of functions there in the dropdown lists.

Here is my Sub.

Code:

---

    Private Sub Graph_PointSelected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxMSChart20Lib._DMSChartEvents_PointSelectedEvent) Handles Graph.PointSelected
        'i,j = Counter
        Dim i, j As Integer
        'Gets the row in the datagrid that selected point got
        i = e.dataPoint
        'Gets the serie selected point got
        j = e.series
'Puts info to the Labels from my datagrid
            L_Info_One.Text =  DG_Repair_Data(database_row(i), 0)
            L_Info_Two.Text = DG_Repair_Data(database_row(i), 1)
            L_Info_Three.Text = DG_Repair_Data(database_row(i), 3)
            L_Info_Four.Text = DG_Repair_Data(database_row(i), 5)
    End Sub

---

database_row is declared as an integer

Is it working for you?

In VB6 works this:

Private Sub MSChart1_PointSelected(Series As Integer, _
DataPoint As Integer, MouseFlags As Integer, Cancel As Integer)
MSChart1.Row = DataPoint
MSChart1.ToolTipText = MSChart1.Data
End Sub

Good luck :wave:
