User (Legacy) Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Its been about 2.5 years since I was deep into chartFX programming and it has been performing well for us since that time. I have a new project and am trying to re-learn what I used to know ! I have used .tipmask to add text to the values in a series, but now I need to show text based on the series. From looking around, I am thinking if I could capture the series via the gettip event, I could customize the message shown. I could go with either mouse over, double click, or right click. My problem is I'm clueless how to use the gettip event (assuming that it represents the correct manner in which to proceed). I think I'm missing some understanding how to use the information in the API Help document regarding this event. Any assistance would be sincerely apprtciated h.collins@jdpa.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Software FX Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 The GetTip event is called right before a tooltip is about to appear. It gives you complete control over the contents of the text displayed. The TipMask in the other hand, allows you to display certain "macros" such as the Point's value, Label, Legend, Etc. Depending on exactly what you need to display, you can use one or the other. Rule of thumbs: Use GetTip when TipMask won't do the job. -- FP Software FX, Inc.
