Amol,

Apologies in the delay in replying. Yesterday was a holiday here.

Yes, you could think of deriving your own class, e.g.

Code: Select all

  public class MyRectangleTool : RectangleTool
  {
    public MyRectangleTool() : this((Chart)null)
    {
    }

    public MyRectangleTool(Chart c)
      : base(c)
    {
      DataGridView = new DataGridView();
      IChart parent = c.Parent;
      if (parent != null)
      {
        Control control = parent.GetControl();
        control.Controls.Add(DataGridView);
      }
    }

    public DataGridView DataGridView
    {
      get;
      set;
    }

    protected override void ChartEvent(EventArgs e)
    {
      base.ChartEvent(e);
      if (e is BeforeDrawEventArgs)
      {
        Rectangle newBounds = Bounds;
        newBounds.Inflate(-10, -10);
        DataGridView.Bounds = newBounds;
      }
    }

    protected override void OnResizing(EventArgs e)
    {
      base.OnResizing(e);
      Rectangle newBounds = Bounds;
      newBounds.Inflate(-10, -10);
      DataGridView.Bounds = newBounds;
    }
  }

and then using it in your chart, e.g.

Code: Select all

    private void InitializeChart()
    {
      tChart1.Aspect.View3D = false;
      Line line = new Line(tChart1.Chart);
      line.FillSampleValues();

      MyRectangleTool tool = new MyRectangleTool(tChart1.Chart);
      tool.Shape.Transparency = 0;
      tool.Width = 100;
      tool.Left = 100;
      tool.Top = 100;
    }
