User (Legacy) Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 I'm using ChartFX Client-Server, and would like to suppress the tooltip that says "Plot Area" when the mouse is positioned over the chart. I like the tooltips for data points, but the "Plot Area" tooltip is likely to be confusing to my users. I've searched the Help files for Tooltip, but can't find a property that sets the "Plot Area" tooltip. In my chart, I have ShowTips set to True, and the chart's ToolTipText is blank.

Software FX Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 You can turn on/off tooltips, but you can not turn on/off a tooltip for a specific area independently. What you can do is capture the GetTip event and return an empty string for those areas you don't want. For information on GetTip please check the docs. -- FP Software FX, Inc.

That worked OK, with one unusual issue. I use Visual Basic 6, and setting Chart.hText = vbNullString (the vb intrinsic null string constant) did not work. When I set Chart.hText = "" it worked OK.
