ViewXY: Programatically highlight a cursor?

Post by greggorob64 » Thu Jul 17, 2014 7:22 pm

I have two charts on the same screen (image below), and the crosshairs always line up (i manually set them when the value changes). Is there a way to make them both highlight when i mouseover one of them?

I got as far as adding MouseOver\MouseOff events, but i don't know how to programatically begin a mouse highlight.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, there's no way to do that currently.

Series have SetHighlight and RemoveHighlight methods, but cursors don't. :|

There's a way, kind of... change the cursor's color. You can blend the original color to a highlight color:

cursor.LineStyle.Color = ChartTools.CalcGradient(cursor.LineStyle.Color, DefaultColors.SimpleHighlightGradient, 50); or other preferred color.
