    Tooltips and Cursors
    In This Topic

    In NOV Chart for .NET all chart elements (axes, series, datapoints etc.) derive from the NChartElement base class, which provides support for Tooltips and Cursors on a per element basis.

    Changing the Tooltip

    In order to show a tooltip for a specific chart element you need to change its Tooltip property. The following code snippet show how to create a bar series with two data point that have an associated tooltip:

    C#
    Copy Code

    NBarSeries bar = new NBarSeries();

    NBarDataPoint dataPoint1 = new NBarDataPoint(10);
    dataPoint1.Tooltip =
    new NTooltip("Bar value 10");
    bar.DataPoints.Add(dataPoint1);

    NBarDataPoint dataPoint2 = new NBarDataPoint(20);
    dataPoint2.Tooltip =
    new NTooltip("Bar value 20");
    bar.DataPoints.Add(dataPoint2);

    chart.Series.Add(bar);

    Changing the Mouse Cursor

    By default the mouse cursor applied on all chart element is the default mouse cursor. If you wish to change that for a specific chart element you need to assign a new cursor to the Cursor property of the element:

    C#
    Copy Code

    someChartElement.Cursor = new NCursor(ENPredefinedCursor.Hand);
