The functionality is currently exposed only by the x-axis of the sparkliens. It would be a good idea to be exposed by the other series types as well. For the time being you can configure the cross hair through the kendo widget: <script> function pageLoad() { $find('RadHtmlChart1').get_kendoWidget().setOptions({categoryAxis:{crosshair:{ color: "green", width: 2, visible: true}}}); } </script> <telerik:RadHtmlChart ID="RadHtmlChart1" runat="server" Width="600" Height="400"> <PlotArea> <Series> <telerik:ColumnSeries Name="Series 1"> <SeriesItems> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="30" /> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="10" /> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="20" /> </SeriesItems> </telerik:ColumnSeries> <telerik:LineSeries Name="Series 2"> <SeriesItems> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="39" /> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="19" /> <telerik:CategorySeriesItem Y="29" /> </SeriesItems> </telerik:LineSeries> </Series> <XAxis> <LabelsAppearance RotationAngle="33"></LabelsAppearance> <Items> <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Item 1" /> <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Item 2" /> <telerik:AxisItem LabelText="Item 3" /> </Items> </XAxis> </PlotArea> </telerik:RadHtmlChart>
