    How to Not capture mouse-click events when a drawing tool is selected

    Hi. I capture mouse-click events --

    Code:
    ChartPanel.MouseLeftButtonDown += MouseClicked;
    
    protected void MouseClicked(...)
    -- and use that to draw on the chart via the indicator.

    I would like to know when a click is due to a drawing tool being drawn, so that the indicator will not be drawing in this case.
    How to tell the difference between a normal click and a click when a drawing tool is selected?
    I thought IsInHitTest was supposed to do the trick but it doesn't.

    Thank you

    Hello digibob,

    You may be able to use a similar approach to the following context menu sample. It uses the chart objects collection to find whats selected. Based on the type of what is selected the logic is delegated. In your use case it would be similar, the logic would just go in your mouse event handler method.




    I look forward to being of further assistance.
