Chart Series info in tipbox?

[dumanibo]

Hello,

How can I show a chart series or a point info in a special tipbox when the mouse over a point of a chart. Is it possible?

Hi and welcome to VBAX!

When you move the mouse pointer over a point in an (X,Y) type chart, Excel will automatically display the point's properties in a tipbox, without need of any macro or such. This applies to Excel 2002 and, I guess, up.

If this is not what you need, then please explain in detail what it is.

Thank you Jimmy for your interest.
I know Excel's automatic tipbox but I want to make specialized this tipbox. For example I want to show a point's tipbox another series value. Maybe it can do some API. How can do it? Is it possible?
