    Hi!
    I have tried to create a custom template for a tooltip and I've implemented a simple template with custom context. However I realized that the tooltip displays only one series' values in the ClosestDataPoint. While debugging this I noticed that all the DataPointInfos had the same DistanceToTouchLocation, and I assume this is the reason why the ClosestDataPoint's series is always the same.

    I was wondering if there's a solution for this.

    - Tinja

    In the ChartTooltipBehavior I've defined the TriggerMode to be Hold and SnapToClosestPoint is set to true.
    Here's my implementation of the template and the ContextNeeded event handler:
            <telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.TooltipTemplate>
    <DataTemplate>
    <Grid>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
     <RowDefinition/>
     <RowDefinition/>
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Header}"/>
    <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=Content}" Grid.Row="1"/>
    </Grid>
    </DataTemplate>
    </telerikChart:RadCartesianChart.TooltipTemplate>

    private     void ChartTooltipBehavior_ContextNeeded(object sender, TooltipContextNeededEventArgs e)
            {
     
                e.Context = new CustomTooltipContext()
                                {
                                    Header = e.DefaultContext.ClosestDataPoint.Series.DisplayName,
                                    Content = e.DefaultContext.ClosestDataPoint.DisplayContent.ToString()
                                };
            }

    Hi Tinja,

    Thank you for your question.

    The distance to the data point is calculated as the horizontal distance between the point and the touch location. This is why all closest points from the series have the same DistanceToTouchLocation
    and ClosestDataPoint is always from the first series. Each DataPoint in the DefaultContext.DataPointInfos has LayoutSlot property that provides information about the position of the data point. Using this information, you can calculate which one is the nearest point.

    I hope this was useful and, please, let us know if you have further questions.

    Hi,

    in version for WPF (version 2013.2.724.45) is same behavior described by Tinja, but no LayoutSlot property is available. Is there a way how to find really closest data point in WPF? Thanks.

    Hello David,

    Unfortunately the charting components for WPF and Windows8 are different and their implementation is build around the specifics of each of the frameworks. This is why it would be better to further describe your scenario and current implementation in a ticket or a forum thread targeting RadChart(View) for WPF.

    Also, please note that in WPF we provide two different charting components - RadChart and RadChartView. The RadChartView is the latest implementation of our charting components and its advantages are further described in this article.

    Having the above in mind, please create a ticket/forum thread targeting the charting component you're currently using and describe your scenario and the implementation you have in place. As in WPF we don't have a ContextNeeded event and a LayoutSlot property, your description will help us better understand your requirements and advice you how to implement them.
