How to Deselect Segments Programmatically in UWP SfChart?

This article demonstrates how to programmatically deselect chart segments or series in the UWP Chart control from the code behind.

Step 1: Configure the SfChart and set up the ChartSelectionBehavior. 

SfChart chart = new SfChart();

chart.PrimaryAxis = new CategoryAxis();
chart.SecondaryAxis = new NumericalAxis();

chart.Behaviors.Add(new ChartSelectionBehavior { EnableSeriesSelection = true });

ColumnSeries series1 = new ColumnSeries
{
    ItemsSource = viewModel.DataSource,
    XBindingPath = "XValue",
    YBindingPath = "YValue",
    SegmentSelectionBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Gold)
};

ColumnSeries series2 = new ColumnSeries
{
    ItemsSource = viewModel.DataSource2,
    XBindingPath = "XValue",
    YBindingPath = "YValue",
    SeriesSelectionBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Silver)
};

chart.Series.Add(series);
chart.Series.Add(series2);

Content = chart;

 
Step 2: To deselect a specific chart segment from code behind, set the SelectedIndex property of the ChartSeries to -1. 

series1.SelectedIndex = -1;

chart.SeriesSelectedIndex = -1;
