Tag: TooltipModifier

Hi ,

Is there any property by which I can stop the drag behavior of a tooltip on Scichart ? I have a reference point marker on the graph which displays a tooltip. I want this tooltip to be not able to move, since this is a reference point marker.

Thanks,
Harish

Hi,

I am displaying some charts on the screen (4 per screen). When I double click one chart, it opens in another, modal window.
I have the below problem with the tooltip modifier and the rollover modifier (one is enabled at a time, tried with both, need the fix at least for the tooltip modifier)

When I close the window, the following happens, to the chart that was double clicked:

1- If the chart is a simple column chart, the tooltip modifier does not work as soon as the maximized window is closed. Nothing happens when I move the mouse. I found a simple workaround, which is to zoom in/out even very little, and the modifier works back. Here I’m forcing it by code:

private void ChrtSurface_OnMouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            //Get the chart from the sender tag
            var surface = (SciChartSurface)sender;
            var chart = (SciChart)surface.Tag;

            //The chart is already executed, so no need  do that again. Start the single view form
            var form = new SingleChartView(new SingleChartViewModel(chart, this._viewModel.SelectedModule.Id));
            form.ShowDialog();

            ZoomChartToExtents(chart);
        }

public void ZoomChartToExtents(SciChart chart)
        {
            var scichartSurface = lstCharts.FindVisualChildren<SciChartSurface>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Tag == chart);
            Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.ApplicationIdle, new Action<SciChartSurface>(ZoomExtents), scichartSurface);

        }

        public void ZoomExtents(SciChartSurface chart)
        {
            chart.ZoomExtents();
            chart.ChartModifier.OnModifierMouseUp(new ModifierMouseArgs() { MouseButtons = MouseButtons.Right });
        }

2- If the chart is a stacked chart, I get a null reference exception. Here’s the exception:

“An exception of type ‘System.NullReferenceException’ occurred in Abt.Controls.SciChart.Wpf.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”

And the stack trace (if zoom extents is not called):

If zoom extends is called, I get the following stack trace:

More info in case it helps:

I tried using the SimpleRolloverModifier code from http://support.scichart.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/17235/32/custom-chartmodifiers—part-1—creating-a-custom-rollover-modifier

And found that when the problem happens, the hit test either detects nothing or causes a null reference.

The problem ONLY happens when I open and close the modal window. If I don’t do that all works fine.

Thanks
Charbel
