Hello,

how can I set limits for TAxisArrowTool? A click on the arrow moves the axis of given percent value. If the axis reaches a limit ArrowTool should stop scrolling. Currently it moves to infinity (MAXDOUBLE I think).

The only way I see is to recalculate the percentage after every click. I tried to capture the OnClick event, but TAxisArrowTool has done its scaling, when OnClick rises. It would be nice, if TAxisArrowTool provides limits for max/min of the axis which are not exeeded.

Hi Thomas,

You can achieve what you request doing something like:

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.ChartTool1Click(Sender: TAxisArrowTool; AtStart: Boolean);
begin
  if Chart1.Axes.Left.Maximum>1000 then ChartTool1.Position:=aaEnd
  else ChartTool1.Position:=aaBoth;
end;

end;

When ChartTool1Click is called, the axis scrolling is finished. I have to undo the action, then I must hide the arrow as you described.

Is it possible to get triggered before TAxisArrowTool performs the axis scrolling?

Hi Thomas,

one way would be to check in the OnMouseDown event if the tool has been clicked and then check in the OnScroll event :

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.ChartTool1Click(Sender: TAxisArrowTool; AtStart: Boolean);
begin
if Chart1.Axes.Left.Maximum>260 then ChartTool1.Position:=aaEnd
  else ChartTool1.Position:=aaBoth;
noScroll := false;
end;

procedure TForm1.Chart1Scroll(Sender: TObject);
begin
if noScroll=false then
 // xxx...
end;

procedure TForm1.Chart1MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
  Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
if ChartTool1.Axis.Clicked(x,y) then
  noScroll := true;
end;
