I have a c# winform using an ultrachart 2d bar chart. The tooltips on each bar data point have no delay and I would like to add one. It does not seem possible to do with the base tooltip but maybe I'm missing something. Also I tried to use a custom tooltip but in order to do this I need access to the bar user control list which I can't figure out how to access. Please assist!
Hi Ken,
The elements within the chart are specialized Infragistics objects known as Primitives. You can gain access to them by handling either the FillSceneGraph or ChartDrawElement event on the chart.
It might be possible to emulate tooltip behavior by using FillSceneGraph to look at each bar to determine whether the mouse is over it, then add a Box Annotation to the chart to represent the tooltip.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
So you are telling me there is no way to access the User Controls (the bar labels and such) within the chart?
This feature is not supported in UltraChart. I recommend submitting custom tooltip delay as a product idea for our newer chart control, UltraDataChart. You can suggest new product ideas for future versions on http://ideas.infragistics.com.
Remember when submitting your idea to explain the context in which a feature would be used and why it is needed as well as anything that would prevent you from accomplishing this today. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case.
Thank you in advance to submitting your product idea.
