ChartBars.GetBarIdxByX(chartControl, cursorPointX)

[frankduc]

Hello,

Something is strange. I did a for loop:

for(int barIndex = ChartBars.GetBarIdxByX(chartControl, cursorPointX); barIndex <= index1; barIndex++)
                {
                }

When i click on the chart to know what bar is clicked i use

  int clickedBarIndex = (ChartBars.GetBarIdxByX(chartControl, cursorPointX));

and it return the right clicked bar. 4700

But Printing barIndex in the for loop return the wrong bars. How is it possible?

For exemple, clickedBarIndex = 4700 but the for loop return bars 4750 to 4800. 4800 is index1. It should return bars 4700 to 4800 ??

Hi frankduc, thanks for your question.

You should try Printing the values from the for loop to make sure they are matching up with expectations. Print out the value of ChartBars.GetBarIdxByX(chartControl, cursorPointX) and that will confirm what the for loop is iterating on.

I look forward to hearing from you.

my bad wrong variable at the wrong place

Just one thing bothering me.

In

string textString = "BarsIndex:" + clickedBarIndex.ToString() + "\nTime:" + timeValue.ToString("H:mm:ss") + "\nclist:" + clist[c].ToString("N4");

I can get in the chart the clist but color red is flashing turning pale red to bold red from time to time. Any idea why?

Hello frankduc, thanks for your reply.

I apologize, I must ask for more context. What is clist and what component of the chart is turning different colors unexpectedly?

I look forward to hearing from you.
