I cannot help answer your question; but I would like to reinforce your question since I am looking for the same thing.  I would like to know how to implement multi-line tooltips as well; but more importantly, I would like to know how to programmatically assign the tooltip text for each piece of chart data independantly.

 Anyone have any tips on this?

I haven't tried this using the properties dialog; but you can have a multi-line tooltip by using the \n character sequence to signify a newline.  I've done this programmatically and it works great (at least it does within IE6).

Hello tomshelley!!

Can you please post those lines of code using the \n character sequence?

Thanks in advance.

Sure thing.  I'm using C# and this example shows how to create a multiline tooltip when the user hovers over the chart area.

// Get a reference to the map area you want the tooltip to be associated with
MapArea _chartMap = webchart.ImageAreas.GetByName("ChartData");

// set the tooltip message to whatever makes sense for your implementation
// I've highlighted the newline characters in orange for clarity 
_chartMap.Tooltip = string.Format("YTD Excellence {0}\nYTD Overall {1}\nFeb Excellence {2}\nFeb Overall {3}",
                                                   ytdExcellence.ToString("P"),
                                                   ytdOverall.ToString("P"),
                                                   monthlyExcellence.ToString("P"),
                                                   (monthlyOverall.ToString("P")
                                                  );

Please note that the newline escape character in VB.Net is quite probably different than in C#.  Unfortunately, I don't know what the character is; but I would try what I've outlined first.  Also, this example uses the string.format function to make a string containing variable information; but this could have been done just as easily without it.

Hello tomshelley!!

Thanks for ur quick reply.

As u said the newline escape character in VB.Net is quite probably different than in C#. That's why it is getting the '\n' as string itself. Still, I too hv not got that character. When get, will definitelly post it again, if u come across any solution plz do reply.

 For anyone that's interested the new line syntax for VB looks like this:

ma.Tooltip = "Y:{#YVAL}" & vbCrLf & "Y1:{#Y1VAL}" & vbCrLf & "{#TEXT}"
