programmatically showing data tips on a chart – the easy way
July 17, 2008 7 Comments
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.

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?

This is a great technique. I am seeing a difference between datatips shown by setting showDataTips=”true” and datatips shown by using your method. The datatips shown when I implement your method seem to get clipped by the charts’ parent container whereas when showDataTips=”true” the datatips are not clipped. Have you experiences this and do you know how I can fix this?
