Hi,

I encounter a random issue with the HitTest method of NChartControl (Nevron 2010, DLL version is 10.3.31.12) . It raises a NullException and it's very difficult to reproduce. The chart is displaying a line plot and the hit test was done on coordinate (x,y) = (65,105). The context of the PreOrder paint didn't seem to contain null members (see content of the structure at the end).

Hi,

Can you post the state of the control in XML format:

nChartControl1.Serializer.SaveControlStateToFile("c:\\temp\\state.xml", Nevron.Serialization.PersistencyFormat.XML, null);

I just tested the control hit testing in a simple case:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 NChart chart = nChartControl1.Charts[0];
 NLineSeries line = new NLineSeries();
 line.DataLabelStyle.Visible = false;

 for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
 {
         line.Values.Add(i);
 }

 chart.Series.Add(line);
}

private void nChartControl1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
 NHitTestResult result = nChartControl1.HitTest(e.X, e.Y);

 textBox1.Text = result.ChartElement.ToString();
 nChartControl1.Refresh();
}

but was not able to replicate any problems...

Best regards,
Bob
