2.) disable Mousewheel function if no panning

function TCustomChart.DoMouseWheel(Shift: TShiftState; WheelDelta: Integer;
{$IFDEF CLX}const{$ENDIF} MousePos: TPoint): Boolean;
begin
result:=false; // <---- here
if AllowPanning <> pmNone then // <--- and here
result:=inherited DoMouseWheel(Shift,WheelDelta,MousePos);

Hi Achim,

Sorry but I don't understand which are the exact problems here. Could you please provide more detailed information?

Thanks in advance.

1.)
If you use the mouse to drag a series point, there is no limit. You can drag and drag and drag, the values can grows up to thousand and millions.
With the code above, it is possible to clip/limit this behavour. You can set a min/max value, and if you want to drag beyond these values, the dragging will stop.

2.)
It is(or was in older versions) possible to use the mouse wheel for panning, even if panning is not allowed. The two lines prevent this behaviour.

Thanks for your suggestion. We'll add your suggestion to the wish-list to be considered for inclusion in future releases. However, some users may not be happy with this change as it may break their functionality.

You can achieve this much easily. You just need to use this:

Code: Select all

TeeUseMouseWheel := True; 
Chart1.TabStop:=True;

There is an on/off property in the code above. Default-seting should be 'off'.

Thanks, I'll try it.

Hi Achim,

Ok, thanks for your feedback!
