How to get Legend Text

Command Alkon · Post by **Command Alkon** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 6:23 am

Hi,

I have a normal line series chart with couple of line series displayed. I also have legend visible for each series.

I am assigning the following procedure to Chart's OnClickSeries event

Code: Select all

procedure DoOnClickSeries(Sender: TCustomChart; Series: TChartSeries; ValueIndex: Integer; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);

So whenever someone clicks on the series I want to show the legend text of that series

Is this possible..? Please help.

Thanks

Hi Command Alkon,

Yes, you can do something like:

Code: Select all

  if Series.Title='' then Caption:=Series.Name
  else Caption:=Series.Title;

Thank a lot. You da man.

BTW Series.Name gave me nothing while Series.Title gives me what I want.

Cheers again

Hi,

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear this solved your problem.

BTW Series.Name gave me nothing while Series.Title gives me what I want.

Yes, this will depend on if you give your series a name or not. That's why I included both options.
