User (Legacy) Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Hi I'm new to ChartFX so apologies if this is a stupid question. When tooltips appear over columns in my chart, ampersands disappear from the displayed text. I realise this is an issue with tooltips in general and not ChartFX and the workaround is to replace & with &&& (I can't work out why this is necessary, why on earth would I want accelerator keys in tooltips?). Of course the problem with this workaround is that the text on my x-axis now displays with &&&. Is there a workaround for this? Chris Bell -- Fancy a pint?

Software FX Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Unfortunately, as you pointed out, this is an issue with tooltips in general, the rationale behind this behavior (at least what I believe it is) is that you can use the same text fro your menu items and for the tooltip. A workaround is to capture the GetTip event and replace all & by &&&, this way, your labels won't be affected. -- FP Software FX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
