  • the name of the chart defined programmatically with grCreate.
  • the name of the Chart control (in the window or page editor).
<Type of information>: Constant
Type of information requested:
grCategoryNumber of pointed category.
grTheoreticalCategoryNumber of the category that corresponds to a pointed X-coordinate (regardless of the series) and even if the cursor is not on the chart drawing.

If this parameter is not specified, the position used in the last call to grInfoXY is taken into account.
Remarks

X and Y positions

The <X> and <Y> parameters must be specified at least once.
A WLanguage error occurs if the chart has changed between 2 calls to grInfoXY and if the X and Y positions are not specified.

Column chart

When clicking a bar of the column chart, the area taken into account will be a little bit larger (at the top and at the bottom).

Here, the section clicked by the user is pulled out by the application.
To implement this behavior, all you have to do is use grInfoXY (to identify the section clicked) and grPiePullOut (to pull out the section).
WM Click on Chart Cross-platform examples (WINDEV Mobile): WM Click on Chart
[ + ] The "WM Click on Chart" example proposes a solution for pulling out the sections of a Pie chart via a simple click.
This example includes a control template named "TPLC_PullOutChart". This control template is used to pull out the chart sections via a simple click.
To include this feature in another application, all you have to do is import the "TPLC_PullOutChart" template.
