Would someone confirm the lack of crosshair line support for the scatterseries and scatterlineseries types?
My objective is to reproduce the functionality demonstrated in the "Data Point Tracker" sample, but with a ScatterLineSeries.
For scaling, I need the control of the numeric x axis to set min/max/interval values, and the data point tracking which appears to be enabled only when using a category x axis.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish data point tracking and selection with crosshairs on a scatterlineseries, or implementing the equivalent of a numeric x axis on a lineseries, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello,
I have investigated your issue regarding a lack of crosshair functionality with the Scatter Line Series, and I have asked our engineering staff to examine this further. To ensure that it will receive attention, I have logged this behavior as a bug in our internal tracking system with a Development ID of 169403. The next step will be for a developer to review my investigation and confirm my findings or to offer a fix, or other resolution.
I have opened a private case to automatically notify you of any changes with this issue. The case number is CAS-134492-J9V8V6.
The link to access this case is https://ko.infragistics.com/my-account/support-activity
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Just checking in, do you have any other questions or concerns?
I have spoken to development and they have concluded that ScatterSeries crosshair support is a new product idea. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at http://ideas.infragistics.com.
There are many benefits to submitting a product idea:
- Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
- Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
- Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.
- Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.
- You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
Steps to create your idea:
1. Log into the Infragistics Product Idea site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).
2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible. Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing! The Product Idea site puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
Still not added in with the new release 2015.2 release and no comments from developers side - thanks.
Generally: Regarding the added features of this and the past releases it really seems like the WPF environment not that focused anymore at infragistics.An added circular-Wait-Indicator is really not worth spending a few hundred euros each year for updating licenses.
Hello jheck,
I apologize for the delay in my response on this matter. For some odd reason, I was not notified when additional posts were made to this thread, and I just recently revisited this thread.
The reason that this feature for the XamDataChart has not yet been added is because new features are added based on the amount of votes that they get in our product ideas website. The link to this idea is: http://ideas.infragistics.com/forums/192363-wpf/suggestions/5772637-xamdatachart-add-crosshair-line-support-snap-to. If you would like to see this feature added in a future version of the control, I would highly recommend voting for it so our product management teams can see that this idea is a popular one among the community.
In the time since my last update to this forum thread though, I have devised a workaround that is based upon the sample given by user [Infragistics] Martin Trela at this forum thread: http://ko.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/90802.aspx. Essentially, the approach in Martin's sample is to create a custom ScatterSeries that allows the category/crosshair data tracking layers. I had extended this sample using the techniques proposed here to essentially create a custom ScatterLineSeries with data point tracking. I have attached that sample to this forum thread.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.

Hello Andrew,
thank you for your post and the attached sample - this is a solution/workaround i can really deal with. Finally I cleaned up the code to fit my needs and made it more simple to understand and reuse. (e.g. removed the 3 Marker-Dimension-Axis)
Maybe somebody else might find this solution useful.
