I'm trying to retrieve the series name from a mouse-click event in a Chart. I've looked through the documentation, including HitTestResult Class, from which I've gathered that I should be able to get the series using HitTestResult.Series.
When I try this, I get "An object reference is required for the non-static field, ..." error. While I understand (albeit a cursory understanding) what this error is referring to, mostly from responses to questions of other folks here on stackoverflow, I'm at a loss as to what's going on in my code.
Note: When I'm typing "HitTestResult.", Series is not an option in the IntelliSense; instead the only two options are Equals and ReferenceEquals.
Any thoughts or insights are appreciated. Thanks!!
Sample code:
private void myChart_MouseClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
HitTestResult seriesHit = myChart.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);
if (seriesHit.ChartElementType == ChartElementType.DataPoint)
{
MessageBox.Show("Selected by Series!");
// ^^ This, as a test box, works fine...
parameterNameStr = HitTestResult.Series.Name;
// ^^ This is what I want but is causing trouble!
}
else if (seriesHit.ChartElementType == ChartElementType.LegendItem)
{
MessageBox.Show("Selected by Legend!!");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Whoops, try again!");
}
}
