Change cursor on Mouse over chart

[milesdParticipant]

Hello,

I have an onclick event that triggers a window when the the column on a chart is clicked. I would like the mouse cursor to change to style ‘pointer’ with the mouseover event.

I know how to bind to the events but I cant seem to get the cursor to change. I’m using the css properties of the chart but nothing.

$(‘#jqxChart’).css(‘cursor’, ‘pointer’);

Can you guide me as to how to accomplish this.

Hi Histro,

The ability to change the cursor to “pointer” on mouserover used to work. I had the it working in release 3.7. I just upgraded to release 4.2 and it doesn’t work anymore. See the event handling code I have for both versions below. What broke?

My release 3.7 Event Handler (works):

function eventHandler()
{
var groups = $(‘#chart’).jqxChart(‘seriesGroups’);
if (groups.length > 0)
{
for (var i=0; i<groups.length; i++)
{
groups[i].mouseover = function(e)
{
var obj=document.getElementById(‘chart’);
obj.style.cursor=”pointer”;
};

groups[i].mouseout = function(e)
{
var obj=document.getElementById(‘chart’);
obj.style.cursor=”default”;
};

}
}
}

My release 4.2 Event Handler (does not work):

function eventHandler(event)
{
if (event.type == ‘mouseover’)
{
var obj=document.getElementById(‘chart’);
obj.style.cursor=”pointer”;
}

if (event.type == ‘mouseout’)
{
var obj=document.getElementById(‘chart’);
obj.style.cursor=”default”;
}
}

Hello csoga,

In base we set cursor to “default”.
The case that you change the cursor in old version is not a feature that we support.

You can’t break the API from version to version. Not cool..

I need a work-around.

Thanks.
