Chart ToolTip and DateTime

[Benoit Marsot]

Hi,
I have a problem with chart on windows essential studio 5.2.0.25.
The chart is using DateTime on the primary X axis to represent market data, I am using tooltip in a candle chart to represent for each point:
- On the y axis: High, Low, Open, Close
- On the x axis: DateTime
I tried to used the PointsToToolTip property of the chart series:
this._cs.PointsToolTipFormat =
"{3} - O: {" +((int)YValueIndex.Open + 4).ToString()
+ "}, C: {" + ((int)YValueIndex.Close + 4).ToString()
+ "}, H: {" + ((int)YValueIndex.High + 4).ToString()
+ "}, L: {" + ((int)YValueIndex.Low + 4).ToString() + "}";
And It work fine except for the X axis (DateTime) that return me an integer instead of a date, for example with the format above:
40078 – O: 52.47, C: 45.8, H: 54.4, L: 45.55
(See the 40078 instead of the date)
I tried as well to set the Tooltip directly to the chartSeries.Styles property when I populate the points:
toolTipText = quote.DateTime.ToShortDateString()
+ " - O: " + quote.Open.ToString()
+ ", C: " + quote.Close.ToString()
+ ", H: " + quote.High.ToString()
+ ", L: " + quote.Low.ToString();
this._cs.Points.Add(point);
this._cs.Styles[this._cs.Points.Count - 1].ToolTip = toolTipText;
And tried the same using the ChartPrepareStyleInfoHandler event handler of the chart series with no success; in both cases I only have the first Y data (HighPrice or {4}) which is the default value for the ToolTip.

Could you help me?

Thanks in advance,
-Benoit

Ok I finally figure out that you need to set the chart series property PointsToolTipFormat to "{2}" for the PrepareStyle callback method to be able to set the tooltip.

Thanks,
