How to display more data in the tooltip of WPF Chart (SfChart)?

2 mins read

WPF Chart provides the support to display the needed information from its model of populated items source along with Tooltip UI customization with the help of TooltipTemplate in the chart series as shown in the following code example.

 

Here, display the both country's name and its population details in the tooltip. By default, it displays the corresponding y-axis value of that segment.

 

<Window.DataContext>
        <local:ViewModel/>
</Window.DataContext>
<Window.Resources>
      <DataTemplate x:Key="tooltipTemplate">
           <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
               <!--Template element has DataContext as its Segment named Item. From it, you can access the correponding Model-->
               <TextBlock  FontFamily="Segoe UI"  Foreground="White">
                   <Run Text="{Binding Item.Country}"/>
                   <Run Text=":"/>  
                   <Run Text="{Binding Item.Population}"/>
               </TextBlock>
           </StackPanel>
      </DataTemplate>
</Window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
    <syncfusion:SfChart Header="Population growth" Width="353" Height="298">
        <syncfusion:SfChart.PrimaryAxis>
            <syncfusion:CategoryAxis/>
        </syncfusion:SfChart.PrimaryAxis>
        <syncfusion:SfChart.SecondaryAxis>
            <syncfusion:NumericalAxis/>
        </syncfusion:SfChart.SecondaryAxis>
        <syncfusion:ColumnSeries 
                         ItemsSource="{Binding Data}"
                         XBindingPath="Country"
                         YBindingPath="Population"
                         ShowTooltip="True"
                         TooltipTemplate="{StaticResource tooltipTemplate}"/>
    </syncfusion:SfChart>
</StackPanel>

I get an Exception when tooltip should appear.

The following message appear under "<TextBlock Text= "{Binding Converter={StaticResource conver}}" />"

"An object of the type "BioPlatAQC.ModuleViews.LoadSampleView" cannot be applied to a property that expects the type "System.Windows.Data.IValueConverter"."

The Exception: System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: ''Set property 'System.Windows.Data.Binding.Converter' threw an exception.' Line number '15' and line position '24'.'

Inner Exception InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'BioPlatACQ.ModuleViews.Views.LoadSampleView' to type 'System.Windows.Data.IValueConverter'.

This exception was originally thrown at this call stack: [External Code]

Hi Eduardo Arruda,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

We have Checked the reported problem with our KB document “Make tooltip to display X and Y value together”, and it was working fine at our end. Also, we have prepared the sample for your reference. Please find the sample from the below link.

Thank you Yuvaraj. It is working. I've made a mistake on the line

"<local:Converter x:Key="conver"/>"

now is working.
