Hi,

For some of my future projects, I need to capture the position of mouse cursor on charts.

Therefore, I decide to test my approach with this simple code, whose purpose is to handle MouseMove event for displaying the X and Y location of mouse in real time.

However, the problem is that the values of X and Y only update when I click (either right, left, or wheel click) on a chart. Can you instruct me a way to update X and Y real-time for any mouse move?

Thank you in advance.

 
Code
protected override void Initialize() {
        Overlay	 = true;
	CalculateOnBarClose = true;
	ChartControl.ChartPanel.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(OnMouseMove);
}

void OnMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
	DrawTextFixed("info", "X = " + e.X + "\nY = " + e.Y, TextPosition.BottomRight, Color.Red, new Font("Arial", 20f), Color.Black, Color.Yellow, 100 );
}
		
protected override void OnBarUpdate() {
}
