Highcharts - Permanent, Draggable Selection Box - highcharts

Question

I am currently experimenting with the Highcharts charting library, and am totally blown away by its capabilities.
Something I am trying to accomplish is to add a permanent, draggable 'selection' box (or mask) to my chart. This selection box will always be a certain fixed width. For example, say my chart has 30 days worth of data, I would like there to be a draggable box with the width of 1 day. Dragging the box up and down the x-axis (over the actual chart data) will fire off other application events using the selected day as a parameter.
I guess I am looking for something very similar to the navigator in Highstock charts - but again the primary difference is keeping a fixed width selection. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In Highcharts there is no such built-in feature but in Highstock you can also use only scrollbar, see: http://jsfiddle.net/ea7za/ Now you can use or bottom scrollbar or panning (drag on plotting area).
$.getJSON('url.json', function(data) {
var min = data[0][0], // min
max = data[500][0]; // max - e.g. max = min + 24 * 3600 * 1000; as one day
// Create the chart
$('#container').highcharts('StockChart', {
rangeSelector : {
enabled: false
},
navigator: {
enabled: false
},
xAxis: {
min: min,
max: max
},
title : {
text : 'AAPL Stock Price'
},
series : [{
name : 'AAPL',
data : data,
tooltip: {
valueDecimals: 2
}
}]
});
});
