ViewXY SampleSeriesMarker: BringToFront?

Post by greggorob64 » Wed Apr 15, 2015 8:42 pm

I have some awesome SampleSeriesMarkers working on my chart, but I have a small issue, it is showing underneath other traces.

Is there a way to make all SampleSeriesMarkers show above all other traces?

Thanks!

SeriesEventMarkers are rendered after the owner series. To show them above all other traces, spawn a new empty dummy series after all the data series, and attach the marker to the dummy series.

In order to spawn this dummy series, do I need to have samples in that dummy series? Memory usage of my graph is a paramount concern for me.

No. Just an empty series. Don't put the marker track to data, set marker.HorizontalPosition = AtXValue, VerticalPosition = AtYValue, and set XValue and YValue to X,Y you solved.

I have a follow up question for this topic.

Is there any way for me to make the series marker show on top of my cursors?

Thanks!

Yes, by setting lineSeriesCursor.Behind = true. But that also sets the cursor behind the line series.

Thats a tough compromise, i definitely would like it 'in between', but i guess the crosshairs bieng on top is the better of the two.

Thanks.
