By default, the ToolTipFormat property is "(len(name) ? name + ': ' : '') + value". The ToolTipFormat property customizes the tooltip (shown while the cursor hovers value-points of the chart). The CursorFormat property Specifies an expression to customize the tooltips to display, when the crosshair cursor hovers the charts of the series. 

For instance:

• "", disables showing the value's tooltip
• "value format ``", displays the values as numbers using current regional setting
• ""name + `: ` + (value format `0`)"", shows the serie's name followed by the value formatted according to your control panel settings.
• "`Open: <b>` + (%v0 format `0`) + `</b><br>High: ` + (%v1 format `0`) + `<br>Low: ` + (%v2 format `0`) + `<br>Close: <b>` + (%v1 format `0`) + `</b>`", displays the open, high, low and close values for candlestick charts

Currently, the Exontrol's built-in HTML format supports the following HTML tags:

• <b> ... </b> displays the text in bold.
• <i> ... </i> displays the text in italics.
• <u> ... </u> underlines the text.
• <s> ... </s> Strike-through text
• <a id;options> ... </a> displays an anchor element that can be clicked. An anchor is a piece of text or some other object (for example an image) which marks the beginning and/or the end of a hypertext link.The <a> element is used to mark that piece of text (or inline image), and to give its hypertextual relationship to other documents. The control fires the AnchorClick(AnchorID, Options) event when the user clicks the anchor element. The FormatAnchor property customizes the visual effect for anchor elements.

  The ExButton, ExComboBox, ExG2antt, ExGantt, ExGrid, ExHTML, ExLabel, ExList, ExOrgChart, ExplorerTree, ExSchedule, ExSurface, ExSwimlane, ExTree controls support expandable HTML captions feature. The expandable-captions allow you to expand(show)/collapse(hide) different information using <a ;exp=> or <a ;e64=> anchor tags. The exp/e64 field of the anchor stores the HTML line/lines to show once the user clicks/collapses/expands the caption.

  • exp, stores the plain text to be shown once the user clicks the anchor, such as <a ;exp=show lines>
  • e64, encodes in BASE64 the HTML text to be shown once the user clicks the anchor, such as <a ;e64=gA8ABmABnABjABvABshIAOQAEAAHAAGESikWio+ABzABohp3iELABpABuABljYAgRhAEaFsqAAvAEsjUCmUEg0IhUMhUPjQAAEBA>+</a> that displays show lines- in gray when the user clicks the + anchor. The gA8ABmABnABjABvABshIAOQAEAAHAAGESikWio+ABzABohp3iELABpABuABljYAgRhAEaFsqAAvAEsjUCmUEg0IhUMhUPjQAAEBA string encodes the <fgcolor 808080>show lines<a>-</a></fgcolor> The Decode64Text/Encode64Text methods of the eXPrint can be used to decode/encode e64 fields.

  Any ex-HTML caption can be transformed to an expandable-caption, by inserting the anchor ex-HTML tag. For instance, <solidline><b>Header</b></solidline><br>Line1<r><a ;exp=show lines>+</a><br>Line2<br>Line3 shows the Header in underlined and bold on the first line and Line1, Line2, Line3 on the rest. The show lines is shown instead of Line1, Line2, Line3 once the user clicks the + sign.

• <font face;size> ... </font> displays portions of text with a different font and/or different size. For instance, the <font Tahoma;12>bit</font> draws the bit text using the Tahoma font, on size 12 pt. If the name of the font is missing, and instead size is present, the current font is used with a different size. For instance, <font ;12>bit</font> displays the bit text using the current font, but with a different size.
• <fgcolor color> ... </fgcolor> or <fgcolor=color> ... </fgcolor> displays text with a specified foreground color. The color field accepts values in various formats: RRGGBB format, which represents the red(RR), green(GG), and blue(BB) values in hexadecimal format; named colors defined in CSS; or RGB format specified as rgb(RED,GREEN,BLUE), where RED, GREEN, and BLUE range from 0 to 255.
• <bgcolor color> ... </bgcolor> or <bgcolor=color> ... </bgcolor> displays text with a specified background color. The color field accepts values in various formats: RRGGBB format, which represents the red(RR), green(GG), and blue(BB) values in hexadecimal format; named colors defined in CSS; or RGB format specified as rgb(RED,GREEN,BLUE), where RED, GREEN, and BLUE range from 0 to 255.
• <solidline color> ... </solidline> or <solidline=color> ... </solidline> draws a solid-line on the bottom side of the current text-line, of specified RGB color. The <solidline> ... </solidline> draws a black solid-line on the bottom side of the current text-line. The color field accepts values in various formats: RRGGBB format, which represents the red(RR), green(GG), and blue(BB) values in hexadecimal format; named colors defined in CSS; or RGB format specified as rgb(RED,GREEN,BLUE), where RED, GREEN, and BLUE range from 0 to 255.
• <dotline color> ... </dotline> or <dotline=color> ... </dotline> draws a dot-line on the bottom side of the current text-line, of specified RGB color. The <dotline> ... </dotline> draws a black dot-line on the bottom side of the current text-line. The color field accepts values in various formats: RRGGBB format, which represents the red(RR), green(GG), and blue(BB) values in hexadecimal format; named colors defined in CSS; or RGB format specified as rgb(RED,GREEN,BLUE), where RED, GREEN, and BLUE range from 0 to 255.
• <upline> ... </upline> draws the line on the top side of the current text-line (requires <solidline> or <dotline>).
• <r> right aligns the text
• <c> centers the text
• <br> forces a line-break
• <img>number[:width]</img> inserts an icon inside the text. The number indicates the index of the icon being inserted. Use the Images method to assign a list of icons to your chart. The last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the number expression indicates the identifier of the skin being used to paint the object. Use the Add method to add new skins to the control. If you need to remove the skin appearance from a part of the control you need to reset the last 7 bits in the high significant byte of the color being applied to the part. The width is optional and indicates the width of the icon being inserted. Using the width option you can overwrite multiple icons getting a nice effect. By default, if the width field is missing, the width is 18 pixels.
• <img>key[:width]</img> inserts a custom size picture into the text being previously loaded using the HTMLPicture property. The Key parameter indicates the key of the picture being displayed. The Width parameter indicates a custom size, if you require to stretch the picture, else the original size of the picture is used.
• & glyph characters as &amp; ( & ), &lt; ( < ), &gt; ( > ),  &qout; ( " ) and &#number; ( the character with specified code ), For instance, the &#8364; displays the EUR character. The & ampersand is only recognized as markup when it is followed by a known letter or a #character and a digit. For instance if you want to display <b>bold</b> in HTML caption you can use &lt;b&gt;bold&lt;/b&gt;
• <off offset> ... </off> defines the vertical offset to display the text/element. The offset parameter defines the offset to display the element. This tag is inheritable, so the offset is keep while the associated </off> tag is found. You can use the <off offset> HTML tag in combination with the <font face;size> to define a smaller or a larger font to be displayed. For instance: Text with <font ;7><off 6>subscript displays the text such as: Text with _subscript The Text with <font ;7><off -6>superscript displays the text such as: Text with ^subscript
• <gra color;mode;blend> ... </gra> defines a gradient text. The text color or <fgcolor> defines the starting gradient color, while the color field defines the ending color, 808080 if missing as gray. The color field accepts values in various formats: RRGGBB format, which represents the red(RR), green(GG), and blue(BB) values in hexadecimal format; named colors defined in CSS; or RGB format specified as rgb(RED,GREEN,BLUE), where RED, GREEN, and BLUE range from 0 to 255. The mode is a value between 0 and 4, 1 if missing, and blend could be 0 or 1, 0 if missing. The <font> HTML tag can be used to define the height of the font. Any of the color, mode or blend field may not be specified. The <gra> with no fields, shows a vertical gradient color from the current text color to gray (808080). For instance the <font ;18><gra FFFFFF;1;1>gradient-center</gra></font> generates the following picture:
  
• <out color;width> ... </out> shows the text with outlined characters, where color field defines the outline color, 808080 if missing as gray, width indicates the size of the outline, 1 if missing. The color field accepts values in various formats: RRGGBB format, which represents the red(RR), green(GG), and blue(BB) values in hexadecimal format; named colors defined in CSS; or RGB format specified as rgb(RED,GREEN,BLUE), where RED, GREEN, and BLUE range from 0 to 255. The text color or <fgcolor> defines the color to show the inside text. The <font> HTML tag can be used to define the height of the font. For instance the <font ;31><out 000000><fgcolor=FFFFFF>outlined</fgcolor></out></font> generates the following picture:
  
• <sha color;width;offset> ... </sha> define a text with a shadow, where color defines the shadow color, 808080 if missing as gray, width indicates the size of shadow, 4 if missing, and offset indicates the offset from the origin to display the text's shadow, 2 if missing. The color field accepts values in various formats: RRGGBB format, which represents the red(RR), green(GG), and blue(BB) values in hexadecimal format; named colors defined in CSS; or RGB format specified as rgb(RED,GREEN,BLUE), where RED, GREEN, and BLUE range from 0 to 255.
