Make use of RadToolTips for Series Items in RadChart

[Sheik Abdul]

Hi,

I am in the process of developing a custom dashboard webpart in Sharepoint 2010 by making use of RadChart. I need to add RadToolTips to the series items of the radchart showing the values of the series items. I am able to bring tool tips by making use of RadToolTipManager by setting its AutoTooltipify property to true but using RadToolTipManager I am not able to display any image or control the appearance of the tooltip as I could do in ordinary RadToolTip (any html snippet can be included in ordinary RadToolTip).
So can you please tell me a way for showing RadToolTip with an image in it for RadChart Series item (without using RadToolTipManager)? Please respond to this ASAP since I am doing POC for making use of RadChart within Sharepoint webpart. 

Note: This RadChart is being used in the Visual Webpart in VS 2010. The version of Rad controls I use is "RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX Q1 2013" 

Thanks,
Rahib S.

Hi Sheik,

Could you please specify if you want to achieve the described scenario with the RadChart or the RadHtmlChart? The way in which the two controls handle the Tooltips is different, so your clarification will help us to further investigate the case.

All the best,

Hi,

It is RadChart. If you could provide me the way or code snippet for the scenario explained in my previous post ASAP, it would be very much helpful for me. 

Thanks,
Sheik.

Hi Sheik,

I have answered your support ticket with the same question and I will also post the described suggestions here, so other people can use them as well:

You could have a look at a good demo on how to use the RadTooltipManager with the RadChart here and a demo which shows a text information and an image in the RadToolTipYou could also use a web service to make it independent of the current page (i.e. avoid the POST requests), then the following demos for setting the content of the ToolTip using a web service and RadTooltip's Client-side API might be helpful to you.
