I am generating Gantt chart using MS chart stacked bar chart.
I am using 3 series in the chart.
After generating the chart when I click on any of the series, it should give the information of the series.
For that I need to get the series name after clicking.

Is there any way to get the series name and chartarea name which I clicked.

I tried myself and got the answer as below

We need to use Mouseclick evnet not the just clickevnet.

Example: In below example we will get series name which is clicked in clkdGraphSeries

Protected Friend Sub ProdChart_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs) Handles ProdChart.MouseClick

Dim clkdGraphPoint As Integer = Nothing
Dim clkdGraphSeries As String = Nothing
Dim clkdGraphChartArea As String = Nothing

Try

Dim result As DataVisualization.Charting.HitTestResult = ProdChart.HitTest(e.X, e.Y)

clkdGraphPoint = result.PointIndex

If (clkdGraphPoint < 0) Then
App.MsgBox("Click on the drawn graph", MsgBoxStyle.Information)
Exit Sub
End If

clkdGraphSeries = result.Series.Name

clkdGraphChartArea = result.ChartArea.Name

Catch ex As Exception
App.ErrorAdd(Me,ex.Message)
End Try

End Sub

In the same passion you can get all the properties of the graph.
