how to enable zooming in Microsoft chart control by using Mouse wheel

Question

I am using Microsoft Chart control in my project and I want to enable zooming feature in Chart Control by using Mouse Wheel, how can I achieve this?

but user don\'t

Answer 1

I modificated code from above and added a reverse zooming. So when you rotate a mouse wheel back the chart zoom out. Also i don't recommend use 2^n as divider of the interval because it cause lag.

numberOfZoom - counter of Zooming
private void Chart1_MouseWheel(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        var chart = (Chart)sender;
        var xAxis = chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisX;
        var yAxis = chart.ChartAreas[0].AxisY;

        var xMin = xAxis.ScaleView.ViewMinimum;
        var xMax = xAxis.ScaleView.ViewMaximum;
        var yMin = yAxis.ScaleView.ViewMinimum;
        var yMax = yAxis.ScaleView.ViewMaximum;

        int IntervalX = 3;
        int IntervalY = 3;
        try
        {
            if (e.Delta < 0 && numberOfZoom > 0) // Scrolled down.
            {
                var posXStart = xAxis.PixelPositionToValue(e.Location.X) - IntervalX *2/ Math.Pow(2, numberOfZoom);
                var posXFinish = xAxis.PixelPositionToValue(e.Location.X) + IntervalX *2/ Math.Pow(2, numberOfZoom);
                var posYStart = yAxis.PixelPositionToValue(e.Location.Y) - IntervalY*2 / Math.Pow(2, numberOfZoom);
                var posYFinish = yAxis.PixelPositionToValue(e.Location.Y) + IntervalY*2 / Math.Pow(2, numberOfZoom);

                if (posXStart < 0) posXStart = 0;
                if (posYStart < 0) posYStart = 0;
                if (posYFinish > yAxis.Maximum) posYFinish = yAxis.Maximum;
                if (posXFinish > xAxis.Maximum) posYFinish = xAxis.Maximum;
                xAxis.ScaleView.Zoom(posXStart, posXFinish);
                yAxis.ScaleView.Zoom(posYStart, posYFinish);
                numberOfZoom--;
            }else if (e.Delta < 0 && numberOfZoom == 0) //Last scrolled dowm
            {
                yAxis.ScaleView.ZoomReset();
                xAxis.ScaleView.ZoomReset();
            }
            else if (e.Delta > 0) // Scrolled up.
            {

                var posXStart = xAxis.PixelPositionToValue(e.Location.X) - IntervalX  / Math.Pow(2, numberOfZoom);
                var posXFinish = xAxis.PixelPositionToValue(e.Location.X) + IntervalX / Math.Pow(2, numberOfZoom);
                var posYStart = yAxis.PixelPositionToValue(e.Location.Y) - IntervalY  / Math.Pow(2, numberOfZoom);
                var posYFinish = yAxis.PixelPositionToValue(e.Location.Y) + IntervalY  / Math.Pow(2, numberOfZoom);

                xAxis.ScaleView.Zoom(posXStart, posXFinish);
                yAxis.ScaleView.Zoom(posYStart, posYFinish);
                numberOfZoom++;
            }

            if (numberOfZoom < 0) numberOfZoom = 0;
        }
        catch { }
    }
