Gets or sets a value indicating whether the minor tickmarks are displayed by an axis.

public bool MinorVisible { get; set; }
Public Property MinorVisible As Boolean
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean |
true if the minor tickmarks are visible; otherwise, false.
|
Use the MinorVisible property to show or hide minor tickmarks on an axis.
When enabled, minor tickmarks can be further customized via the TickmarksBase.MinorLength and TickmarksBase.MinorThickness properties.
To show or hide the major tickmarks, use the TickmarksBase.Visible 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.
