| 7 | +The following steps describe how to add multiple trackballs to SFChart. |

|
9 | | -* [Visual Studio 2017](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) or [Visual Studio for Mac](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/). |
10 | | -* Xamarin add-ons for Visual Studio (available via the Visual Studio installer). |
| 9 | +**Step 1:** Create a custom ChartTrackballBehaviorExt class, which is inherited from **SFChartTrackballBehavior**. |
| 10 | +``` |
| 11 | +public class ChartTrackballBehaviorExt : SFChartTrackballBehavior |
| 12 | +{ |
| 13 | +} |
| 14 | +``` |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +**Step 2:** Create an instance of ChartTrackballBehaviorExt and add it to the **Behaviors** collection. |
| 17 | +``` |
| 18 | +ChartTrackballBehaviorExt trackballBehavior1 = new ChartTrackballBehaviorExt(); |
| 19 | +ChartTrackballBehaviorExt trackballBehavior2 = new ChartTrackballBehaviorExt(); |
| 20 | +chart.Behaviors.Add(trackballBehavior1); |
| 21 | +chart.Behaviors.Add(trackballBehavior2); |
| 22 | +``` |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +**Step 3:** Activate the multiple trackballs at load time using the **[Show](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/xamarin-ios/Syncfusion.SfChart.iOS.SFChartTrackballBehavior.html#Syncfusion_SfChart_iOS_SFChartTrackballBehavior_Show_CoreGraphics_CGPoint_)** method. |
| 25 | +``` |
| 26 | +public override void ViewDidAppear(bool animated) |
| 27 | +{ |
| 28 | + base.ViewDidAppear(animated); |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | + trackballBehavior1.Show(pointX, pointY); |
| 31 | + trackballBehavior2.Show(pointX, pointY); |
| 32 | +} |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +**Step 4:** Set [ActivationMode](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/xamarin-ios/Syncfusion.SfChart.iOS.SFChartTrackballBehavior.html#Syncfusion_SfChart_iOS_SFChartTrackballBehavior_ActivationMode) to [None](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/Syncfusion.SfChart.iOS.SFChartTrackballActivationMode.html) to restrict the default movement of the trackball behavior. |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | +trackballBehavior1.ActivationMode = SFChartTrackballActivationMode.None; |
| 38 | +trackballBehavior2.ActivationMode = SFChartTrackballActivationMode.None; |
| 39 | +``` |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +**Step 5:** Interact with multiple trackballs by overriding the touch methods of SFChartTrackballBehavior class and the [HitTest](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/xamarin-ios/Syncfusion.SfChart.iOS.SFChartTrackballBehavior.html#Syncfusion_SfChart_iOS_SFChartTrackballBehavior_HitTest_System_Single_System_Single_) method. The HitTest method is used to find the trackball that is currently activated by user. |
| 42 | +``` |
| 43 | +public class ChartTrackballBehaviorExt : SFChartTrackballBehavior |
| 44 | +{ |
| 45 | + bool isActivated = false; |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + public override void TouchesBegan(NSSet touches, UIEvent uiEvent) |
| 48 | + { |
| 49 | + if (touches?.AnyObject is UITouch touch) |
| 50 | + { |
| 51 | + CGPoint location = touch.LocationInView(Chart); |
| 52 | + if (HitTest((float)location.X, (float)location.Y)) |
| 53 | + { |
| 54 | + isActivated = true; |
| 55 | + base.TouchesBegan(touches, uiEvent); |
| 56 | + } |
| 57 | + } |
| 58 | + } |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + public override void TouchesMoved(NSSet touches, UIEvent uiEvent) |
| 61 | + { |
| 62 | + if (isActivated) |
| 63 | + { |
| 64 | + if (touches?.AnyObject is UITouch touch) |
| 65 | + { |
| 66 | + CGPoint location = touch.LocationInView(Chart); |
| 67 | + Show(location); |
| 68 | + base.TouchesMoved(touches, uiEvent); |
| 69 | + } |
| 70 | + } |
| 71 | + } |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | + public override void TouchesEnded(NSSet touches, UIEvent uiEvent) |
| 74 | + { |
| 75 | + isActivated = false; |
| 76 | + } |
| 77 | +} |
| 78 | +``` |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +**Step 6:** Tap and drag each trackball separately to view the data points at different positions simultaneously. |
