This article describes the available events for the Telerik Chart for Blazor:

OnAxisLabelClick

The OnAxisLabelClick event fires when the user clicks a label item on any of the Chart axes. The event argument is of type ChartAxisLabelClickEventArgs and exposes the following properties:

Property Type Description

OnDrilldown

The OnDrilldown event is triggered when the drill-down functionality executes. The handler of this event accepts a ChartDrilldownEventArgs object as a parameter. You can access the name of the drilled down (clicked) series through the SeriesName property of the event arguments object.

OnSeriesClick

The OnSeriesClick event fires as a response to the user click on a <ChartSeries>.

Below you can find:

Event Arguments

The event handler receives a ChartSeriesClickEventArgs object which provides the following data:

  • DataItem - provides the data model of the current series item. You need to cast it to the type from your datasource, which needs to be serializable.

    • If you are using a Date Axis, the DataItem will contain the only the aggregated value in the corresponding y-value field, because it is a collection of more than one items. See the Category below for details.

  • Category - provides information on the category the data point is located in. You need to cast it to the type in your data source, for example DateTime, string, int or another type. The Category parameter is applicable to Categorical Charts.

    • When using a Date Axis, you can use it, together with the BaseUnit value of the axis, to filter the data source and obtain the actual data items from the data source in case you want to provide extra information about them.

  • Percentage - applicable to Donut, Pie and Stacked 100% Charts - the percentage value of the current data point from the whole.

  • SeriesIndex - provides the index of the <ChartSeries> the data point belongs to.

  • SeriesName - bound to the Name parameter of the <ChartSeries> the data point belongs to.

  • SeriesColor - shows the RGB color of the Series the data point belongs to.

  • CategoryIndex - shows the index of the data point's x-axis category.
