MAQ Software Cylindrical Gauge - Problems with Tooltip

@MAQSupport  I used the Cylindrical Gauge before and it always showed the Tooltip message when scrolling the mouse over the object. But now It doesn't show, and I don't have any option to activate it...

Hi

 

(This Question was asked about 1-year ago from today, but since I hit a similar problem, I thought I would "reply" anyway with the "2-step workaround" that solved the issue for me). 

 

I hit a similar problem when trying to control the "ToolTip" property of the custom visual ("Circular Gauge") developed by ("MAQ Software"). With all the "standard" Microsoft visuals made available in Power BI Desktop, you have the option to turn the "ToolTips" property on/off. 

 

However, with the Circular Gauge custom visual, it seems that the Developers have not exposed the “ToolTips” property, so turning ToolTips on/off could not be controlled with the Circular Gauge visual. 

 

Despite not having direct control of the ToolTips properties, this is the 2-step "workaround" that I used to control the ToolTips when hitting a similar problem. 

 

  • Workaround:
    1. Swap over the custom visual ("Circular Gauge") to another similar standard built-in visual and then toggle property, ToolTips = “on” (or "off", as needed), on the standard visual. 
    2. Swap back to the custom visual ("Circular Gauge"). 

Circular Gauge then inherits the ToolTips property you just set with the last visual that you were using.  

 

P.S. Pretty impressed with that Circular Gauge tool otherwise ... thank you MAQ Software!
