Visifire - Custom tooltip with more than one binding

Question

I have the object list which i use to create the graph, in it, I have a X value, Y value and couple of other things (strings, numbers,...) which describe this object. I would like to create a custom tooltip who displays them. I've seen something about binding the Tag property and use it. But I'm not sure that will fit my needs because as I've said I need more than one property. Is there any other way I could do it?

BTW I'm using xaml and c#

Answer 1

But if you are working with DataBinding, you can map ToolTipText property to each individual DataPoint.

Example:

DataMapping dm = new DataMapping();

dm.MemberName="ToolTipText";

dm.Path = "customToolTipText;

Here customToolTipText is a property in your view model which will have values for each DataPoint in the series.

Example: customToolTipText = "XValue, YValue, otherdetail...";

This way you can directly set the ToolTipText without relying on ZValue, AxisXLabel etc.

Answer 2

You can display XValue and YValue inside the ToolTip just by setting ToolTipText property in DataSeries.

Example:

dataSeries.ToolTipText = "#XValue, #YValue";

If you need one more property to store DataPoint's custom information, you can make use of ZValue property in DataSeries. Basically ZValue is useful for Bubble chart but you can utilize it to store some information of DataPoint. Finally display ZValue inside the ToolTip.

Example:

dataSeries.ToolTipText = "#XValue, #YValue, #ZValue";
