Hotspot tool and axis label formatting

[norman]

Hi,

Is it possible to have different format labels for the bottom axis and for individual points when using the hotspot tool?

I have a time series on my chart and by default the labels on the bottom axis are displayed in the format MM/dd/yyyy (which is fine). When I add a hotspot tool and set the style to "X and Y" the X values are also displayed in the same format. Is it possible for them to be displayed in the fomat MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss without affecting the axis labels?

I tried adding a text value for each of my points as I was adding them, for example:

Code: Select all

' third parameter is label
For i As Integer = 0 To 999
   series.Add(today.AddDays(-i), i * 10, Format(today.AddDays(-i), "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss"))
Next

and I changed the style of the hotspot tool to Label and Value, which whilst it works for the tooltip (i.e. the X value is displayed in the required format), the labels on the bottom axis also change (i.e. the time is also included). Basically I'd like the hotspot tool tips to include the time but not have the time displayed on the labels for the bottom axis.

Thanks

Hi norman,

You can customize HotSpots text using the GetHTMLMap event as shown in the Interacting with Charts\Mouseover Hints\Trigger Testing Mouseover Marks example in the ASP.NET demo.

Axes labels can also be customized using GetAxisLabel event as shown in Tutorial 4 - Axis Control. Tutorials can be found at TeeChart's program group.

Hi Narcís,

Many thanks for that. Is there any way that I can control the style of the tooltip that is displayed using the GetHTMLMap event - e.g. for example change the font etc.

Thanks

Hi norman,

I'm afraid this is not possible for now. I've added your request to the wish-list to be considered for inclusion in future releases.
