I have a screen with four charts. I have set the ig:SyncManager.SyncSettings property on all charts to the same string. All the charts are using a non-default tooltip (content control defined in the controls resources.)
The cross hairs show up on all the charts and the chart's tooltip shows up on the inital chart.
What I need is the tooltip to show up on all the charts at the same time.
Is this possible?
In the sample explorer there is a version that does this but not with custom tooltips.
Hello Mark,
As Graham suggested I created a short sample application that demonstrate how the functionality that you are looking for can be achieve with ItemTooltipLayer or CrosshairLayer.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance on the matter.
hi
if you use ItemTooltipLayer or CrosshairLayer these will sync with the sync channel.
Thank you for your post.
I have been looking into your requirements and it seem that the behavior you have described is expected. In XamDataChart control, synchronization is the coordination of zooming, panning and crosshairs events between multiple charts and functionality for tooltip is not builtin it. You can read more details about synchronization in XamDataChart from the following link from our online documentation:
http://help.infragistics.com/doc/WPF/2014.2/CLR4.0/?page=DataChart_Chart_Synchronization.html
If you want the functionality for tooltip to show up on all the charts at the same time, to be implemented for a future version of the XamDataChart, I can suggest submitting a new Product Idea.
Steps to create your idea:
1. Log into the Infragistics Product Ideas site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).
2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible.
• Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
• Include a link to this thread in your idea so product management will be able to look back at this case.
The benefits of submitting the product idea yourself include:
- Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
- Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
Additional benefits of the Product Idea system include:
- Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.
- Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.
- You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
The product ideas site allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
