Custom Tooltip on Output
11 Feb 2020, 07:39


Is it possible to override the default tooltip on an output property.  I have a user who is colour blind and cannot distinguish the lines plotted in my Currency Strength Indicator.  He has requested that I put the name of the currency represented by a line in the tooltip.

I have tried using a DescriptionAttribute but that doesn't work.  There are no parameters for the OutputAttribute that let me set the description or tooltip and after a lot of searching I haven't found a way to do what was requested.

Can this be done in any way?

RE:

I have investigated using the ChartObjectHoverChanged event to write some text on the indicator when the mouse is over an output plot but no success.  The event never fires for lines plotted for outputs.  It seems these lines are not chart objects because they don't show up when I iterate through the list of objects on the chart or indicator area.  Still looking for a work around.

Yes, each indicator's output shows the description as part of the tooltip. There is no way to override that at the moment.
