Hello Roelof,

There are a few ways to achieve your requirement.

1. I recommend handling the following events on the DataChart

a. SeriesMouseLeftButtonDown
b. PreviewMouseMove
c. PreviewMouseUp

You were on the right path. You may reposition the data points via the chart's GetUnscaledValue method to change the x and y positions.

eg.

  private void XChart_SeriesMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, DataChartMouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            this.DraggingWidget = e.Item as Widget;
        }

private void XChart_PreviewMouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.DraggingWidget != null)
            {
                Point p = e.GetPosition(xChart);

                this.DraggingWidget.ValueX = this.xChart.Axes.OfType<NumericXAxis>().First().GetUnscaledValue(p.X, this.xChart.WindowRect, this.xChart.ViewportRect);
                this.DraggingWidget.ValueY = this.xChart.Axes.OfType<NumericYAxis>().First().GetUnscaledValue(p.Y, this.xChart.WindowRect, this.xChart.ViewportRect);
            }
        }

 private void XChart_PreviewMouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            this.DraggingWidget = null;
        }

I've attached a complete sample demonstrating this.

2. You may also find the following forum post useful, since it demonstrates using a behavior.

            set
            {
                bool changed = this.ValueX != value;
                if (changed)
                {
                    this._ValueX = value;
                    NotifyPropertyChanged("ValueX");
                }
            }
        }
        private double _ValueY;
        public double ValueY
        {
            get { return this._ValueY; }
            set
            {
                bool changed = this.ValueY != value;
                if (changed)
                {
                    this._ValueY = value;
                    NotifyPropertyChanged("ValueY");
                }
            }
        }
        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;
        private void NotifyPropertyChanged(String info)
        {
            if (PropertyChanged != null)
            {
                PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(info));
            }
        }
