Hello,
Is it possible to add labels to points in a ScatterLineSeries? I've been able to add labels to CategoricalDataPoints but not ScatterDataPoints. I noticed that on https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/chartview/series-types/series-types there are labels for Line, Spline, Area, and SplineArea series, but not for Bar or Scatter.
I added a custom LabelFormatting event that gets called when I use a LineSeries with CategoricalDataPoints, but it doesn't run when I use a ScatterLineSeries with ScatterDataPoints. Here's some sample code I tested (in OpenEdge) and a screenshot of my results:
LabelFormatting method:
METHOD PRIVATE VOID myLabelFormatting(INPUT sender AS System.Object, INPUT e AS ChartViewLabelFormattingEventArgs): e:LabelElement:BackColor = System.Drawing.Color:White. e:LabelElement:ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color:Black. e:LabelElement:BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color:Black. e:LabelElement:Font = NEW Font("Segoe Script", 12, FontStyle:Regular). DEFINE VARIABLE element AS CartesianLinePointElement NO-UNDO. MESSAGE "Casting element..." VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX. element = CAST(e:LabelElement:Parent, CartesianLinePointElement). DEFINE VARIABLE dataPoint AS ScatterDataPoint NO-UNDO. MESSAGE "Casting point..." VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX. dataPoint = CAST(element:DataPoint, ScatterDataPoint). e:LabelElement:Text = STRING(dataPoint:XValue) + ", " + STRING(dataPoint:YValue).END METHOD.
Sample code:
THIS-OBJECT:radChartView1:LabelFormatting:Subscribe(myLabelFormatting). DEFINE VARIABLE lineSeries AS ScatterLineSeries NO-UNDO.lineSeries = NEW ScatterLineSeries().lineSeries:DataPoints:Add(NEW ScatterDataPoint(1, 10)).lineSeries:DataPoints:Add(NEW ScatterDataPoint(15, 15)).lineSeries:DataPoints:Add(NEW ScatterDataPoint(5, 20)).lineSeries:PointSize = NEW SizeF(8, 8).lineSeries:ShowLabels = TRUE.radChartView1:Series:Add(lineSeries).radChartView1:BackColor = System.Drawing.Color:LightGray.radChartView1:ShowLegend = TRUE.
Thanks,
Adam

Hello, Adam,
In order to show labels for the ScatterLineSeries, make sure that you set the Label for each ScatterDataPoint. Please refer to the following code snippet:
Note that most of the forum threads are reviewed by Telerik representatives and sometimes we address the questions asked by our customers in the forums as well. However, a post in the forum doesn't guarantee you a response from the Telerik support team. Moreover, threads are handled according to license and time of posting, so if it is an urgent problem, we suggest you use a support ticket, which would be handled before a forum thread. Thank you for your understanding.
I hope this information helps.

Thank you! Setting the label for each point fixed my issue.
