By default, the SelForeColor property is the same as chart's foreground color that's specified by ForeColor property of the Chart object. In other words, by default, the chart does not display a different foreground color for selected items in the chart area. The SelForeColor property of the Chart object changes the foreground for the selected items in the chart area. Use the SelForeColor property to change the selection foreground color in the list area. Use the SelBackColor property to change the background color of the selected items in the chart area. The SelForeColor property is applied ONLY if the SelForeColor property is different that the ForeColor property.
