HI,
After reading the example annotation code and articles in the forum, I still can’t find a way to achieve my purpose: My app has a thread to receive data sent by a server, the data may trigger an annotation created lively. My app also need to maintain all created annotations and change their properties like X/Y values or remove them later. So far I only see the way of creating annotation by clicking some button. I tries different ways but failed.
Please help me out with some detailed guides. I am a beginner for WPF.
regards
Chunxi
I try to do this in user thread:
LineAnnotation annotationBase = new LineAnnotation();
change annotationBase properties.
But get this exception:

Hi Chunxi,
Thank you for your question & comment. I think the problem you are seeing is that you are creating Annotations on a non UI thread (guessing?). If so, sorry, you have to create Annotations on the UI thread.
Why? Because Annotations are WPF FrameworkElements, and require that they are created on the UI thread.
In your comment you suggest another way and talk about performance. You can try using our PointMarker API and the XyScatterRenderableSeries. This allows rendering of many more points.
For tooltips / mouse-over, please see the TooltipModifier.
Best regards,
Andrew
