Example
This example demonstrates how to enable and customize chart tooltips at runtime.
To enable tooltips, set the ChartControl.ToolTipEnabled property to true. For more information about chart tooltips, see the Tooltips article.
The following example shows tree series with different tooltip patterns:
unboundSeries- a simple unbound series.The series shows tooltips with the following pattern:
Line Series: {A}:{V}unboundSeriesWithTag- an unbound series with a specified SeriesPoint.Tag property for each data point.The series shows tooltips with the pattern that references
Tagvalues:{A}: {V} ({Test})boundSeries- a series that is bound to the data source.The series shows tooltips with the pattern that references data source field values:
{A}: {V} ({Comment})
