SnapMode Property

Syntax

CWCursor.SnapMode

Data Type

CWCursorSnapModes

You can use the following constants with this data type:

• cwCSnapAnchoredToPoint–Snaps the cursor or annotation to a specified point on a specific plot. The cursor or annotation cannot be moved.
• cwCSnapFixed–Sets the cursor or annotation position independent of any plot. The cursor or annotation cannot be moved.
• cwCSnapFloating–Sets the cursor or annotation independent of any plot. You can move the cursor or annotation anywhere in the graph area.
• cwCSnapNearestPoint–Snaps the cursor or annotation to the nearest point on any plot. You can move the cursor or annotation along any plot.
• cwCSnapNearestYForFixedX–For a fixed X location, the cursor's Y value is the Y value of the nearest point on the specified plot. For an annotation cwCSnapNearestYForFixedX is equivalent to cwCSnapPointsOnPlot. The cursor or annotation can be moved only along this plot.
• cwCSnapPointsOnPlot–Snaps the cursor or annotation to points on a specified plot. The cursor or annotation can be moved only along this plot.

Purpose

Specifies the coordinates available for cursors to align with on a plot.

Remarks

The SnapMode property controls the available coordinates when you change the cursor position by dragging with the mouse, setting the XPosition or YPosition properties, or using the SetPosition method. When you change the SnapMode value, the current cursor position changes according to the new settings.
