This example changes the value of an HTML text box named "Textbox" when the mouse pointer passes over an object in ChartSpace1. The value of the text box reflects the type of object that the mouse pointer passes.

Sub ChartSpace1_MouseMove(ByVal Button, ByVal Shift, ByVal x, ByVal y)

    ' Set the value of Textbox to the type of object .
    Textbox.Value = TypeName(ChartSpace1.RangeFromPoint(x,y))
End Sub
