Problem with TriggerCustomEvent

[bubblegum]

Hi,

I'm using TriggerCustomEvent but it only seems to work twice

This is the basic code

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]

[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]}[/SIZE][/FONT]
[/SIZE][/FONT]

Then when I click on the chart, the output looks like this

click2
click
click2
click
click
click
click
click

So myMouseEvents is called every time I click on the chart, but myCustomEvent is only called the first two times, then gives up.

Does anyone know why this would happen?

Thanks

Hi bubblegum,

This is more C# related so will fall outside our scope of support. Hopefully experienced community members can offer their input here. If you've not looked here already, we have a sample using custom events that may be useful for you:

Thanks. I managed to fix it.

I was using

public override void Plot(Graphics graphics, Rectangle bounds, double min, double max)

to plot the graphics. So I replaced this with

private void myPlot()

and put a call to this method in my event and it all seems to work fine now.

Thanks
