Adding Tooltips to HTMLElement?

Anonymous — Thu, 03 Aug 2017 17:07:01 GMT

I have a custom visual that is very similar to the native KPI. I want to add tooltips that look standard to it, but I don't use d3, it is just an HTMLElement.

I can go through the installation of d3 and powerbi-visuals-utils-tooltiputils, but I don't think I can get it to work without being able to pass it a d3 element upon selection. And if I try to pass in the HTML target I use, I get the error "Argument of type 'HTMLElement' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Selection<any>'."

Has anybody done this before?

Hello @Anonymous,

It'd be better to use d3 and powerbi-visuals-utils-tooltiputils.

You just have to select your HTMLElement using d3:

d3.select(Your_HTMLElement)
