Hi again.
Not sure what you mean. You do know that the tooltip is a property, and need not just be fixed text, right? on mouseMove set the tooltip of me to the mouseLoc end mouseMove Try this in your rect. You will want to make sure to knock off the toolTipDelay.

Yeah, I use the tool tips a lot. But the field I need displays the x,y values under a data plot, as the user moves the mouse within the plot axes boundary. . In that way, the user gets a convenient way of getting values from a data plot.
