title: How do you view the value of a chart point on mouse over?
body: <p>I have various points on a chart. I would like to be able to show the exact value of the point in a tooltip on mousing over that particular point.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Chart1.Series("Series1").Points.AddXY("Jul", 600)
  Chart1.Series("Series1").Points.AddXY("aug", 458)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On mousing over these points on the chart, the tooltip text should show "600" or "458".</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong></p>
  
  <p>This gets me close but it only shows the value of the mouse position on the point, not the full value of the point:</p>
  
  <pre><code> Private Sub Chart1_GetToolTipText(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.Charting.ToolTipEventArgs) Handles Chart1.GetToolTipText
      If e.HitTestResult.PointIndex &gt;= 0 Then
          If e.HitTestResult.ChartElementType = DataVisualization.Charting.ChartElementType.DataPoint Then
              MetroToolTip1.SetToolTip(Chart1, e.y.tostring)
          End If
      End If
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
