We are using UltraChart 8.3 for windows. Recently we are experiencing a problem on display Tooltips.
The tooltips can be correctly displayed in our main window. But when I create a new window on top of the main window, and display chart in this new window, tooptip just won't show. I can only see a circle at the data point, but not the tooltip text. There is no difference on how the chart gets created and displayed in the main window or floating window.
I suspect it's related with the parent of the forms.
Any clue?
Thanks,

there were no problems discussed in this threat that required a fix from us. what kind of trouble are you having with your tooltip?
i am sure there have been fixes to the tooltips since the initial release of 2008.3, so there is a good chance the latest service release will help you.
Hi David,
Has there been a fix from Infragistics for the tooltip problem? We are using NetAdvantage for .Net 2008 Vol 3 CLR 2.0.
Thank you for your suggestion. The problem i relate to is a generic problem. I originally encountered this problem with the Chart FX graphing control. After some investigation I realised that the problem was not peculiar to this particular control. I put this simple solution together to illustrate the problem. Put simply Tooltips do not work in undocked windows for several control types, inlcuding, as I have shown in the sample solution, the most basic of .NET controls, e.g. labels.
I guess we can just simple reply on the form's Controlls collection since the form is simple and always carry the similar layout. Thanks.
Zongwen,
in my last post i was talking to another person who posted on this thread.
regarding the IGWinTooltip, that code i sent you that uses Reflection to get it might not be working due to the security context your application is running in.
the tooltip control is not directly under the winform in 100% of scenarios, but if that's where it is on your form, you can rely on the form's Controls collection to find it and get the reference.
