- I want to create a stock chart that will have the main stock price data plotted in the main chart area. My question is how can I create a crosshair cursor like the one that is available in many stock charting software and highlight corresponding values on series?

To generate a crosshair cursor, you may use two Constant Lines and change their values according to the mouse position (in the MouseMove event handler). You should utilize the XYDiagram.PointToDiagram method to convert pixel coordinates to diagram coordinates.
