Remarks

The MapArea class represents a map area of a client-side image map, and corresponds to an HTML <AREA> tag.

The MapArea objects are stored in the MapAreasCollection class.

There are two types of MapArea objects:

  • Map areas that are automatically created when a chart element - for example, a data point, series, legend item or strip line object - has a non-empty ToolTip, Url or MapAreaAttributes property; note that other HTML elements that are required for a client-side image map are also created. In this case, the dimensions and location of a map area are automatically determined by the chart element. Use the CustomizeMapAreas event of the root Chart object to delete or modify these map areas at run time.

  • Custom map areas that have a user-defined shape and coordinates. Use the MapAreas property of the Chart object to add these custom map areas at design time or run time.

Setting this property will have no effect if the IsMapEnabled property is set to false. The default value is true.

Important

To create an image map using the previously described MapArea objects, the RenderType property of the Chart object must be set to ImageTag. It is possible to create an image map when using binary streaming, but another technique must be used.

For custom MapArea objects, the Shape property determines the shape, and the Coordinates property determines the location of the map area.

Tooltips, hyperlinks, or attributes, such as Target=_Blank or OnClick="javascript:MyJavaScriptFunction()", can be set for all map areas.

Use the IsCustom property to determine whether a map area is a custom MapArea object; that is, whether it has user-defined shape and coordinates.
