How to format tooltips in WinForms Chart series?

In WinForms Chart control, tooltips can be displayed by setting the ShowToolTips property to true. The PointsToolTipFormat property allows you to specify the format of tooltips for values displayed. It provides the following tooltip formats:

  • "{0}" - series name
  • "{1}" - series style
  • "{2}" - tooltip of point
  • "{3}" - X value of point
  • "{4}"- Y value of point

For more details on supported format specifiers in PointsToolTipFormat, refer to the WinForms Chart documentation.

this.chartControl1 = new ChartControl();
. . .

//Enabling Tooltips
this.chartControl1.ShowToolTips = true;

ChartSeries series = new ChartSeries("Sales", ChartSeriesType.Column);

// Setting Series Name as Tooltip for the series
series.PointsToolTipFormat = "{0}";
Me.chartControl1 = New ChartControl()
. . .

'Enabling Tooltips
Me.chartControl1.ShowToolTips = True

Dim series = New ChartSeries("Sales", ChartSeriesType.Column)

' Setting Series Name as Tooltip for the series
series.PointsToolTipFormat = "{0}"

Output
//Enabling Tooltips
this.chartControl1.ShowToolTips = true;
