    [OPEN] [#1420] [4.1.0] Show Tooltip, anchered on series after click event

    Dear Ext.net Team,

    Based on the example posted below, I have a question about the Tooltip. The expected solution is to show a tooltip after a tap-Event, which is anchored on the series you clicked on. Best solution would be with the showOnTap Event. This didn't work out and I used ItemClick event (ChartItemEvents plugin included). I tested the situation with the google chrome dev tools (device toolbar). Is there a way to get the showOnTap-Event working?

    @using Ext.Net
    @using Ext.Net.MVC
    
    @{
        ViewBag.Title = "Errorin_Chart";
        var X = Html.X();
    }

            <script>
                function renderTooltipS1(toolTip, record, ctx) {
    
                    var past = record.get("Past");
                    var present = record.get("Present");
    
                    var dataDiff = present - past;
    
                    toolTip.setHtml(ctx.field + ': ' + present);
                }
    
                function renderTouchtoolTip(series, item, e) {
                    var seriesTooltip = series.getTooltip();
    
                    seriesTooltip.setHtml("Tooltip to be shown on Series.");                
                    console.log(seriesTooltip.html);                 
                    seriesTooltip.show();

    Hello @Nikolai! And welcome to Ext.NET forums!

    Amazing, as a new user, you posted a simplified and runnable code sample at the first attempt! Usually people have hard times providing test cases we can follow and help them with! Congratulations!

    Praises aside, first think I thought about your tooltip would be to use .TrackMouse(true) to have the tooltip follow the mouse (or likely be displayed on tap from mobile devices) by the position the stimulus came. But in your set up, track mouse does not really behave as you described.

    Then second approach would be to just replace line 33 on your view code to:

    seriesTooltip.showAt(e.xy);
    This will not really align the tooltip by the bar chart, but will show it wherever the user clicked/tapped. Wouldn't that work for you? To get the exact position of the bar won't be a trivial task it seems.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the quick feedback

    Hey fabricio,

    Thanks for the quick feedback. The method you provided worked like a charm. The tooltip was shown at the coordinates of the fired event. This is result, I can easily work with. There is still one open question. Why does the event "ShowOnTap" not work? If this event works, I could write less code and ignore teh function renderTouchtoolTip.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello @nikolai!

    Well, I see if I add this to the chart:

    .Listeners(li => li.ItemTap.Fn = "renderTouchtoolTip")
    It does not work at all. But if I try a simple tooltip like this:

    @(X.Label().ID("lbl1").Text("Tap me for tooltip?"))
    @(X.ToolTip().Html("Tooltip data here").Target("lbl1").ShowOnTap(true).ShowDelay(2500))
    It works fine. Does not show on tap, shows on hover (in pointer-driven devices), but does not show on tap. Shows (all as expected) when under touch-driven devices, when tapped.

    So there's a problem on bar charts wiring the 'tap' event to the canvas components and this probably is the cause the tooltip can't work with that.

    Please use .ShowOnTap(true) instead of .Config("showOnTap", true), at least this makes it clear that is a supported feature of ExtJS (as you can type anything in the string parameter for .Config, and ToolTip actually supports this setting in Ext.NET).

    We've created the issue #1420 on github to track this problem! For now, I'm afraid you should rely on itemClick, if it works for you.
