  Hi,

  Apparently by creating a new LineMarker a new form will be opend. Is this behaviour expected and what is the reason for this? We are using version 4.0.20222.566.

  You can check it with the LineMarker example:

     void flexChart1_Rendered(object sender, RenderEventArgs e)
      {
          if (lineMarker == null)
          {
              Console.WriteLine(Application.OpenForms.Count);
              lineMarker = new LineMarker(flexChart1);
              Console.WriteLine(Application.OpenForms.Count);
              lineMarker.LineWidth = 2;
              lineMarker.DragThreshold = 10;
              lineMarker.Content = "Output={Output}\nInput={Input}";
              lineMarker.VerticalPosition = 0.5;
              lineMarker.HorizontalPosition = 0.5;
  
              cbLines.SelectedIndex = 3;
              cbInteraction.SelectedIndex = 1;
              cbAlignment.SelectedIndex = 0;               
          }
      }

  Hi Ralf,

  We created a sample application with the control version 4.0.20222.566 and the code snippet you provided. Unfortunately, we were unable to reproduce the problem on our end. Please see LineMarkerNewForm.zip

  We request you update the sample so that we can replicate the problem on our end and share it with us so that we can analyze the problem in a better way.

  Thanks & Regards,
  
  Aastha

  Hi Aastha,

  I’ve downoaded your code and let it run. The output shows the counter for the open forms changes from one to two - please see the attached image.

  Hi Ralf,

  Thank you for pointing out your observation regarding the behavior of creating a linemarker for FlexChart. We would like to confirm that it is a general design behavior of the component to open a new form when creating a linemarker.

  The component is internally coded to allow for the creation of a new form on the existing form to render line markers, providing a better user experience and allowing for more precise customization of the marker properties. This behavior is not an issue or bug, but rather a standard design feature of the component.

  We hope this information clarifies your question. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.

  Thanks& Regards,
  
  Aastha

  Thank you for your explanation. It is now clear for me.
