Thanks Matt, I've seen that post before and others like it trying to solve roughly the same problem, and it really doesn't really help.

Your example shows how to change a style in response to mouse enter. This is not even close to my requirement. I have data points set from view models. I need to set the style programatically, whether it be mvvm or any other way.

I'm having to use code-behind already, just to use a dynamic number of series. I don't mind continuing like that, if I can only find a solution.

I also tried a data trigger in the implicit rectangle style, but you are not passing the data item through.

Highlighting data is the most simple and fundamental requirement in a chart. It's a shame if it's not possible.

thanks

Pete

HI,

We should submit a feature request for this issue.

 I have another solution that will work as long as the columns of the chart are not scrolled in an out of view.

 I making use of the Rectangle Loaded event. As each chart is loaded, I put an index number in the tag property.

 Here is my sample.

Matt,

thanks for your continued support. 

We've found a temporary solution by altering the code in the ColumnSeries to popupate the data context with our data item, and then just using a binding in the implicit Rectangle style.  I think you're right that we should submit a feature request, as we don't benefit from your unit tests or quality assurance if we change the code ourselves.

At least we can continue with our implementation.

Thanks

Pete
