problem: TMarksTipTool in clx

[cbr]

Hi.

I have problem using the TMarksTipTools in clx.

A few times application will show the tool tips but then the tool tips are invisible. Any idea? By the way, the onGetText event is working correctly.

I've posted I example in the publec news group - topic:

Best regards,

Hi Christian,

yes, you're correct, I'm able to reproduce the problem here, it seems to be a bug (however it only happens on a CLX app.) . I've added it on our defect list and a fix for it will be considered to inclusion for the next maintenance releases.
In meantime, you could simulate the MarksTip tool using the Canvas thechniques (or with Annotation tools).
Here I show you one example using the Canvas techniques :

Code: Select all

procedure TForm1.Chart1MouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
  Y: Integer);
var tmp, tmpL : Integer;
begin
  With Chart1 do
  begin
    If (Series1.Clicked(X, Y) <> -1) And (OnSeriesPoint = False) Then
    begin
     Canvas.Pen.Color := clBlack;
     canvas.TextOut(x+10,y,FormatFloat('#.00',Series1.XScreenToValue(x))+','+FormatFloat('#.00',Series1.YScreenToValue(y)));
     OnSeriesPoint := True;
    End;
    //Repaint Chart to clear Textoutputted Mark
    If (Series1.Clicked(X, Y) = -1) And (OnSeriesPoint = True) Then
    begin
      OnSeriesPoint := False;
      Repaint;
    End;

    tmpL := Chart1.Legend.Clicked(X, Y);
    If (tmpL <> -1) And ((tmpL <> tmpL2) Or (OnLegendPoint = False)) Then
    begin
       Repaint;
       Canvas.Brush.Color := Series1.LegendItemColor(tmpL);
       Canvas.Rectangle( X, Y, X + 20, Y + 20);
       canvas.TextOut(x+7,y+7,FormatFloat('#.00',Series1.XValues.Items[Series1.LegendToValueIndex(tmpl)]));
       tmpL2 := tmpL;
       OnLegendPoint := True;
    End;

    If (Legend.Clicked(X, Y) = -1) And (OnLegendPoint = True) Then
    begin
       OnLegendPoint := False;
       Repaint;
    End;
  End;
end;
