Use the CrosshairEnabled property to activate (deactivate) a crosshair cursor at the level of a chart.
After that, it becomes possible to customize the crosshair cursor’s appearance and position on a diagram via the WebChartControl.CrosshairOptions property.
The following image shows the enabled crosshair cursor with the CrosshairOptions.ShowArgumentLabels, CrosshairOptions.ShowValueLabels, CrosshairOptions.ShowArgumentLine and CrosshairOptions.ShowValueLine set to true.
You can also change the content of crosshair labels, via the CrosshairAxisLabelOptions.Pattern and SeriesBase.CrosshairLabelPattern properties.
To learn more about the crosshair cursor, see the Crosshair Cursor topic.
This example shows how to enable the Crosshair Cursor and configure its settings.
