Customized Tooltips

[User (Legacy)]

Hello,

I have two series displayed in one same chart. I would like to set the 

tooltips programmatically to display the good units of the series.

Here is my code:

////////// Format the tooltip //

string maskString = "%s" + "\n";

maskString = "X: " + "%x" + ", " + "Y: " + "%v " + strUnitSeries

base.ToolTipFormat = maskString;

////////////////////////////////

Is it possible that the string "strUnitSeries" contains a string that is 

dependant of the Series over which the user has placed the mouse pointer? 

For example, if my mouse pointer is over one point of the Series 1, I would 

like to see the following tootltip: "X: 4, Y: 24 Volts" but if my mouse goes 

over one point of the Series 2, I would like to see "X: 4, Y: 24 Amps"

Best regards,

%s is the series text, so if the series Text is set to "Volts" and "Amps" 

respectively you will get a different text for each series in the tooltip. 

Just set strUnitSeries = "%s";

Note:

There is something wrong with this code:

string maskString = "%s" + "\n";

maskString = "X: " + "%x" + ", " + "Y: " + "%v " + strUnitSeries

The second line is overriding the first, so the first line is useless.

Francisco,

Thank you for the hint. That works fine.

Hi it's me again,

Just wanted to suggest you something for further versions of ChartFX. It 

would be great to have at least two Customizable Text (%s) for the 

Tooltips... let me explain.

For example, in my case I would have liked to display both the title and the 

unit of the Series, so when the user goes over the chart, he sees something 

like that:

Capacitor Voltage

X: 5 s, Y: 45.6 Volts

But since we can only display one customized string (%s), I only display the 

unit like this:

X: 5 s, Y: 45.6 Volts

Thanks again,

Take a look at the GetTip event. It allows further customization.

The thing with 2 strings is why not 3, or 4 ? It is just too specific to 

your situation.
