    VCL Chart Control: A Series Tooltip Example

    Use ShowForSeries and ShowForPoints properties to enable or disable tooltips for series and their points. To apply custom formatting patterns to series and series point tooltips, use SeriesToolTipFormat and PointToolTipFormat properties of the target series.

    XY Series: Line and Area Views

    You can set ShowForSeries and ShowForPoints properties to False or True to independently disable or enable tooltips for XY series and their points when a Line or Area View is active.
