Chart tooltip on mouse click (configurable) instead of on hover
I want to be able to allow showing tooltip on mouseclick, instead of showing it on hover a slice/point/bar. This should be configurable - what event should trigger a tooltip.

I would like to see this feature (frequested in 2015) as well.

Our users get aggravated at the hover-based tooltip that ships with chart product. The examples posted above by admins are not satisfactory replacements.

Hello,

Here is a a how to article that demonstrates how to achieve the desired behaviour by handling the seriesClick event and showing a custom tooltip:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/charts/how-to/interaction/show-tooltip-on-click

Can you share with us what value would such feature bring if it was built-in?

Kind Regards,

Standard Kendo tooltip is not positioned as nicely as charting tooltip. We still lack this feature and miss it.

We would be able to utilize the proposed functionality.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Presently your option is to intercept the seriesClick event of the chart (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart#events-seriesClick) and utilize the event arguments (e.series.data or e.dataItem) to display our own tooltip, our tooltip widget (http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/tooltip/index).
