Tooltips via legend

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I am having trouble getting tooltips to work via legend in a scatter plot.

I have 3 separate series and would like to have 3 separate legends to feed

the tooltips. The tooltips for each series should change with the datapoint

plotted.

This is the code I currently have for the 3 series:

j = 0

Do While Not RS1.EOF

ChartFX.Series(0).Yvalue(j) = RS1(mecpval)

ChartFX.Series(0).Xvalue(j)= RS1(optvar)

rs1.MoveNext

j=j+1

Loop

j = 0

 Do While Not rsdist.EOF

ChartFX.Series(1).Yvalue(j) = rsdist(mecpval)

ChartFX.Series(1).Xvalue(j) = rsdist(optvar)

rsdist.MoveNext

j = j + 1

Loop

 If Not rssch.EOF Then

ChartFX.Series(2).Yvalue(0) = rssch(mecpval)

ChartFX.Series(2).Xvalue(0) = rssch(optvar)

End If

I know I can do ChartFX.Series(0).Legend = "XXX"

                         ChartFX.Series(1).Legend = "YYY"

                         ChartFX.Series(2).Legend = "ZZZ"

but I dont want the same legend/tooltip to represent the whole series.

I tried ChartFX.Legend(j) = rs1("name") but since this applies for the

complete chart and not each series separately, it didnt work for me.

I want a tooltip for each datapoint. In other words, I am looking for

something like ChartFX.Series(0).Legend(j) = RS1("name").

Is there a way I can have the legend differ for each series as well as

datapoint? If this is not possible, can you please suggest a way to

accomplish this behavior without having to use the legend.

Thanks a lot!

What are asking for is not supported in Chart FX 5.

The possibility of assigning data to each separate point is supported in 

ChartFX 6.0 and beyond.

The only way to achieve this in Chart FX 5.x is to provide you own tooltips 

by capturing the GetTip event. This event is called right before the tooltip 

shows and gives you the chance to change/set the text that is about to 

appear.

Thanks a lot for the information. I am using ChartFX 5.5. From your reply, I 

understand that I can use GetTip. But I was not able to find any samples of 

using it. Can you please send me an example so that I get a better 

understanding on how I can make use of the event.

Thank you.
