Via MVVM I’m binding an ObservableCollection to my chart. I’m trying to support both a rollover modifier and a tooltip modifier based on a user selection (checkboxes). On the backend I only apply the StyleKey to “TooltipStyle” when one of these checkboxes are selected. I can verify that my model is being updated correctly and that I am able to assign the “StyleKey” to each series in my collection when these values change. However the “tooltips” are never displayed. The rollover works as expected, and I see the tooltip for it, but I can never get the tooltip to display when rollover is unchecked. See anything wrong?

<!-- Modifiers (zoom, panning, tooltips, cursor) -->
        <s:SciChartSurface.ChartModifier>
            <s:ModifierGroup>
                <s:RubberBandXyZoomModifier IsAnimated="True" IsXAxisOnly="False" />
                <s:ZoomExtentsModifier ExecuteOn="MouseDoubleClick" />
                <s:ZoomPanModifier ExecuteOn="MouseRightButton" />
                <s:MouseWheelZoomModifier ActionType="Zoom" XyDirection="XYDirection" />
                <s:XAxisDragModifier DragMode="Scale" />
                <s:YAxisDragModifier DragMode="Scale" />
                <s:TooltipModifier x:Name="ChartTooltip" IsEnabled="{Binding Path=ShowTooltips}" />
                <s:RolloverModifier IsEnabled="{Binding Path=SnapToPoints}" />
                <s:CursorModifier x:Name="ChartCursor" IsEnabled="False" ShowAxisLabels="True" Foreground="Red" />
            </s:ModifierGroup>
        </s:SciChartSurface.ChartModifier>

My styles are defined below. When I want to see either the tooltips or the rollover I assign the StyleKey to “TooltipStyle” and when neither of them is selected I assign the StyleKey to “NoTooltipStyle”.

            <!-- Template for regular tooltips -->
        <DataTemplate x:Key="TooltipDataTemplate" DataType="{x:Type s:XySeriesInfo}">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
                <TextBlock Foreground="White">
                        <Run Text="Distance: " />
                        <Run Text="{Binding FormattedXValue, Mode=OneTime}" />
                        <Run Text=" cm" />
                </TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Foreground="White">
                        <Run Text="Relative dose: " />
                        <Run Text="{Binding FormattedYValue, Mode=OneTime}" />
                    <Run Text=" %" />
                </TextBlock>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>

        <!-- Hover template for snap -->
        <DataTemplate x:Key="SnapDataTemplate" DataType="{x:Type s:XySeriesInfo}">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
                <TextBlock Foreground="White">
                        <Run Text="Distance: " />
                        <Run Text="{Binding FormattedXValue, Mode=OneTime}" />
                        <Run Text=" cm" />
                </TextBlock>
                <TextBlock Foreground="White">
                        <Run Text="Relative dose: " />
                        <Run Text="{Binding FormattedYValue, Mode=OneTime}" />
                    <Run Text=" %" />
                </TextBlock>
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>

        <!-- Standard series with snap tooltip and regular tooltip -->
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type s:FastLineRenderableSeries}" x:Key="TooltipStyle">
            <Setter Property="s:TooltipModifier.TooltipTemplate" Value="{StaticResource TooltipDataTemplate}" />
            <Setter Property="s:SeriesValueModifier.IncludeSeries" Value="False" />
            <Setter Property="s:RolloverModifier.TooltipTemplate" Value="{StaticResource SnapDataTemplate}" />
        </Style>

        <!-- Standard series with no tooltip -->
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type s:FastLineRenderableSeries}" x:Key="NoTooltipStyle">
            <Setter Property="s:TooltipModifier.IncludeSeries" Value="False" />
            <Setter Property="s:SeriesValueModifier.IncludeSeries" Value="False" />
            <Setter Property="s:RolloverModifier.IncludeSeries" Value="False" /> 
        </Style>

Craziest thing. After hours of troubleshooting it was something I would have never thought would cause the problem. My SciChart is actually embedded in a custom usercontrol with it’s own Dependency Properties. Inside the constructor for that control I was setting the “ChartTooltip.IsEnabled = false”. The “ChartTooltip” is the name of my TooltipModifier. Even though the “IsEnabled” property of that modifier is bound to a value in my model that can be either true/false, it didn’t seem to matter that the value was changing. It was as if it just ignored the value to which it was bound simply because I had set it’s value to false on startup. Strange.
