programmatically showing data tips on a chart – the easy way

looks like i have taken the scenic road.

a while ago i have posted about how to “programmatically showing data tips on a chart“.

there is an easier way, well… it’s much-much easier.

dataTipItems is a property for Series. it is an array on non-interactive data tips.
populate it with chart items, then set the chart’s showAllDataTips to true.
that easy.

(i enjoy riding the scenic road)

    Hi,

    Thanks for the post, i found however that it doesnt work with datatiprenderers. Only the cercile in the middle of the chartitem appears not the datatip. Any clues?
