Adding tooltips on hover

[Clydewallace]

Is there a way to add a tooltip of text to lines and other objects that display on hover?

Hello,

Thank you for posting.

I currently am unaware of any way to do this using documented properties. I will add a feature request for this item.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Tooltip Example and Framework

I know this post is quite old, but I ended up creating my own tooltip version.

Currently, it's just an indicator that displays a tooltip containing the bar's details as you mouseover each bar. The tooltip is in its own class, is modular and can be added to any other custom indicator. Simply implement the following:

1) Create an object instance at the top of the indicator
2) Add a call to the tooltip from within OnRender()
3) Update/change the display logic as needed within the OnMouseMove() event in the CDXTooltip class.

Download and review the attached indicator for details.

This can obviously be enhanced to be more performant, add a delay, etc., but the framework is in place.

Hopefully this will help future indicator developers.

MarkWise - Thanks for sharing this, and the contribution in the eco thingy. Just what I was looking for (more missing NT functionality)
