fancytooltip

[Kamen Yotov]

chart series can have these fancy tooltips that show the data at given points on the curve as you move the mouse. i am trying to figure out how to format the text that shows in the tooltip... could not find it in the docs, and could not figure it out from the source (after 15 minutes of looking around). please give me a pointer...

Hi Kamen,

Thanks for using syncfusion products.

Thanks for suggesting this valuable feature of "Add Fancytooltip format support in chart Control" to enhance our product. We have logged it as a feature request and notified our development team. We will implement this feature in our forthcoming new version releases or service pack releases. We usually have a timeframe of at least three months between releases. The feature implementation would also greatly depend on the factors like product design, code compatibility and complexity. We will get back to you once the feature is implemented.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,
Rashidha.

Hi Kamen,

By default Fancytooltip displayed series name and chart point as a tooltip.

For more details please refer the following method in your source project.

private string GetTextForToolTip( ChartSeries series, ChartPoint pt )--[Chart.Base\ToolBar\ChartFancyToolTipController.cs.]

Please have a look at the attached sample.

http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/Chart.Windows/F62283/main.htm

The above sample displayed Seriesname and chartpoint values as a Fancytooltip.

Please let me know if you have any more queries.

Regards,
Rashidha.

the example you sent, facny tooltip is not affected by the change of format.

i really want to use fancy tooltip, as oppsed to the regular one. it is more responsive, etc.

i just need a way to change its format... something along the lines of how you change format of the regular tooltip.

is this possible?

Hi Kamen,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

I am afraid that this feature is not currently supported by our chart. We have already logged a feature request in this regards. We will let you know once it is implemented.

Thanks for your patience.

Regards,
Rashidha.

Actually, it seems that your product supports the functionality, but it is not exposed to the end user. I used some reflection which allowed me to access it (although it is not exposed). I am posting it here for the benefit of others who might be looking for it...

FieldInfo fi = chart.GetType().GetField("chartFancyToolTipControl",
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
cfttctrl = (ChartFancyToolTipController)fi.GetValue(chart);
cfttctrl.TextFormat += new ChartTextFormatEventHendler(c_TextFormat);
}

void c_TextFormat(object sender, ChartTextFormatEventArgs e)
{
e.Text = string.Format("{0:dd MMM yyyy}{1:0.000}", e.Point.DateX, e.Point.YValues[0]);
}
