Gets or sets a value indicating whether tickmarks are displayed on an axis.

public bool Visible { get; set; }
Public Property Visible As Boolean
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean |
true if tickmarks are visible; otherwise, false.

Use the Visible property, to show or hide major tickmarks on an axis.
To show or hide the minor tickmarks, use the TickmarksBase.MinorVisible property.
For more information, refer to Grid Lines, Tickmarks and Interlacing.
This example demonstrates how the grid lines and tickmarks of an axis can be customized at runtime.
To access an axis, you should cast your chart’s diagram object to the required diagram type. Then, use the Axis2D.Tickmarks and AxisBase.GridLines properties to access the corresponding elements. To define the number of minor tickmarks (grid lines), use the AxisBase.MinorCount property.
// Cast the chart's diagram to the XYDiagram type, to access its axes.
XYDiagram diagram = (XYDiagram)chartControl1.Diagram;
// Customize the appearance of the axes' tickmarks.
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.CrossAxis = true;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Length = 5;
diagram.AxisX.Tickmarks.Thickness = 2;
