Given the X index of a stacked bar, I need to place the cursor at the top of bars. I have the following code:

begin
  lPt.X := Chart1.BottomAxis.CalcXPosValue(spnXPos.EditingValue);
  lPt.Y := Chart1.LeftAxis.CalcYPosValue(Chart1.LeftAxis.Maximum);
  lPt := ClientToSCreen(lPt);
  SetCursorPos(lPt.X, lPt.Y);
end;

The X position is correct, my Y position is wrong. The Y is at the maximum of the axis--I want the maximum of the stacked bar position.

How can I find the maximum Y value of a stack of bars for a given index?

Hi Ed,

if you know Series and the ValueIndex to retrieve the position, you can just use the series CalcXPos/CalcYPos functions:

Code: Select all

  lPt.X:=Series.CalcXPos(ValueIndex);
  lPt.Y:=Series.CalcYPos(ValueIndex);
  lPt := Chart1.ClientToSCreen(lPt);
  SetCursorPos(lPt.X, lPt.Y);
