Mouse Hover Tooltip for Histogram Chart

[prashanthi]

Hi,

One of my needs is to show a tool tip(of X-Axis Value) when the mouse moves over a bar. I saw that the Essential Chart tool provides a Tool tip property to the chart itself. Does it provide it also for each bar in the chart ? If not, is there a way to do so by programing ?

How do i get Tool tip on Mouse Hover of Bars in Histogram Chart?

Thanks,
Prashanthi.

Hi Prashanthi,

Thank you for using Syncfusion products.

We suggest you to set the Showtooltip and Calcregion property of chart as true and in the “ChartRegionMouseHover” event you can customize the tooltip text of the chart control.

Please refer the following code snippet:

[CS]
   this.chartControl1.ShowToolTips = true;
            this.chartControl1.CalcRegions = true;

private void chartControl1_ChartRegionMouseHover(object sender, ChartRegionMouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if(e.Region.IsChartPoint)
            {
              e.Region.ToolTip = "Tooltip for " + e.Region.PointIndex.ToString();
              
            }
        }

Let me know if you have any concerns.

Regards,
Jaffer

Hi Prashanthi,

We are regret for the inconvenience caused.

By default, ChartSeries.Name will be displayed as a tooltip while mouse hover the histogram column. If your intention should be display the X-value tooltip for the Columns(bars) of Histogram Chart, currently we are not providing support for this.Only the Bubbles in Histogram chart having the X, Y values (Bubbles are DataPoints). So, the tooltip displays the correct X or Y value only for the Bubbles. If we removed the bubbles we can't expect the X or Y value tooltip. Columns in Histogram does not have X and Y value like Columns in Column Chart. So, we don't expect the X and Y value for the Columns in Histogram Chart.

To display custom text as tooltip user need to handle ChartControl_RegionMousehover event accordingly.

I have create simple sample to display the custom text(column index) tooltip to histogram columns. Please download it from the link below
