How to set the tooltip duration in a UWP Chart?

This article demonstrates how to control the duration a tooltip remains visible in a UWP SfChart. By default, tooltips automatically hide after a brief moment. You can customize this behavior by setting the ShowDuration attached property to specify how long the tooltip should be displayed.

Step 1: Ensure ShowTooltip is set to True on the series.

Step 2: To delay the tooltip, set the ShowDuration property on the chart series definition in your XAML. The value for this property should be provided in milliseconds. In this example, the tooltip will remain visible for 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds).

<chart:ColumnSeries XBindingPath="Name" 
                    YBindingPath="Count1" 
                    ShowTooltip="True" 
                    chart:ChartTooltip.ShowDuration="5000"
                    ItemsSource="{Binding Data}" />
