Tooltip on X Axis labels?

[Jason]

We have a chart that put a Medical Code as the label for each column on a bar chart.  Is it possible to put a tooltip on each on that would pull the description of the medical code and place it in the tooltip?

Or do you have any other suggestions on how to show the description for each?

Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason,

I am afraid at this point there is no an event which fires when hovering over the axis labels. The closest to the described scenario I can suggest is using the axisLabelsClick event and show a custom HTML element with the needed information. Another option is to display the description in the tooltip.template (you could reach the original data through the dataItem).

Jason, I'm trying to lobby our Kendo friends to provide a new feature to support what you're asking for.

In the meantime I figured out a way to do this. Check out this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/adrianz/VK3za/7/
