Zooming and Scrolling with Track Line (1) (MFC)




NOTE: This section describes Zooming and Scrolling with Track Line (1) for MFC only. For Qt, please refer to Zooming and Scrolling with Track Line (1) (Qt).

In addition to using mouse click and drag, this example demonstrates using a scroll bar for scrolling and mouse wheel for zooming. It also includes a track cursor that updates the legend dynamically to display the data values as the mouse cursor moves over the chart.

The main source code listing of this sample program is included at the end of this section. The code consists of the following main parts:
