get mouse click X and Y

[binwang2]

Hello NT friends,

Is there a way to get (X,Y) of middle mouse click? The (X,Y) should be relative to the chart rather than relative to the whole canvas.

I see a code from a customized indicator (TraderRuler specific) that uses the following logic:
cursor.clickPrice = ((double)(ChartControl.CanvasBottom) - (double)(yPix))/((double)(ChartControl.CanvasBottom)-(double)(ChartControl.CanvasTop));

It is great if no pane indicators. However, if there is indicator at the bottom, then the above click price would be off as CanvasBottom coordinate is below indicator pane and the mouse click is relative to CanvasBottom.

Use Bounds instead of Canvas.

Use Bounds instead of Canvas.

Thanks for the tip.

I got the same result. Without indicator added, both Bounds and Canvas gave correct mouse click location. Once indicator panel is added, the Y will be off.

By the way, in the original code, mouse click Y is obtained as (int)yPix = m.Y. m is the mouse click event.

Any ideas?
