Showing tooltips for shapes on mouseover

[Luiz]

Hey, 

I'm displaying a map using GeoJson data and would like to display a tooltip when the user moves the mouse over a shape, is this possible?
I'm using the asp.net MVC wrapper and only managed to show tooltips for markers, not shapes.

Thanks!

Hi Henrique,

We have not build in MVC configuration for shape's tooltip. But you can try to hook up to the map's shapeMouseEnter event and add a tooltip with the desired output? In shapeMouseLeave you need to hide it.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for answering, I still have a doubt, tho.
In what shape property should I hook the tooltip? If I try to add it to the "e.shape", I get an error because it has no "width".

Hello Henrique,

In this event you have:

e.originalEvent Object

The source jQuery event instance

and you can access the element via e.originalEvent.target.

Oh, ok. I'll try this out, thanks!

Were you able to get this working?

Hi,

There's no built-in support for tooltips, but I've got a snippet that demonstrates how this can be done for now.

I hope this helps.

Thank you very much, this was extremely helpful! You guys do such a great job supporting us developers with these forums!

I was able to get a tooltip to show properly when I entered each shape on my US map (I am working with ASP MVC). 

I was wondering if you had any advice as to showing a legend for a map. I created a tooltip for the map itself with the legend  information but I would like something in the map itself. Is this possible? 

Thanks,

Justine

Hi,

The Map doesn't currently offer a built-in legend. I imagine a legend should be a color scale in this scale, right?

Please, file a request for this feature on our UserVoice portal if you have minute.
This will help us gauge the overall interest and prioritize.
