Using GetTip method in ASP page

[User (Legacy)]

Hello,

I need some very custom tooltips to appear on my chart and saw that the

GetTip method is available for doing this.  However, I don't know how (if

it's even possible) to implement this method when displaying a chart in an

ASP page.  Is it possible to capture this event client-side in an ASP page?

Thanks.

The GetTip event occurs in the client.

Any code that captures or handles this event should be written in the client

ONLY if the ActiveX client component is being used.

Simply capture the GetTip event using Java Script (or VB Script) and follow

the instructions in the docs. For example:

<SCRIPT  LANGUAGE="JavaScript" FOR="Chart1" EVENT="GetTip(nHit, nSerie,

nPoint, nRes)">

 Chart1.HText= "My ToolTip"

 Chart1.ReturnValue = 1

</SCRIPT>

There is a few samples of capturing events in our support site under the

"ActiveX" section.

Thanks for the help, that answers my question perfectly.  I have one other

question though.  I'm using a scatter plot graph where I simply specify xy

values to plot my points.  Is there any way to associate extra data with

points?  Or at least some way to uniquely identify a point using data other

than whats contained in the xy values?  I have a situation where I need to

display a persons name in a tooltip when they hover over a point on the

chart.  The persons name is neither the x or y value on the chart.

Thanks!

I'm afraid not.

In Chart FX 6.x (for .NET or Java) we added the ability to define per-point

properties including a TAG property that can be used for labeling.

In Chart FX 5.x there is no such a feature.
