Tooltips on line series - alternate solution

Hi There,

I mentioned a few times for this on several other threads. I start the new thread and trying to find alternate solutions for it.

Since ToolTipBinding not working for the lineseries, I am looking into something different like set the line style as the following:

<Style x:Key="MyToolTipLineStyle" TargetType="Path" >
                <Setter Property="ToolTip" Value="{Binding Path=Tag}" />
                <Setter Property="StrokeThickness" Value="3" />
      </Style>

If we set the LineSeries.LineStyle = MyToolTipLineStyle; and LineSeries.Tag = "nth line"; It will show the tooltips for the line.

The problem is that LineSeries.Tag was used for something else in our project, so I cannot use it.

Can you add an extra information property for the DataSeries so that I can set the tooltips?

for example, add property object ExtraInfo{get;set}.

Do you have Default line style and I can base my tooltip style on? i.e

<Style x:Key="MyToolTipLineStyle" TargetType="Path" BasedOn="DefaultLineStyle"/>

Thanks a lot, Gordon

Hello Gordon

In the next nightly build you will be able to use the ToolTip property on the LineSeries. This will set the ToolTip of the rendered line for you. Now you will not need a whole new style simply for putting a ToolTip on the line.

The default line style is built in code, but you will not need it now that the ToolTip property can be used.
