Simulate tip strip with a string within a XControl

Hello!

 

I am trying to create a XControl which contains a graph, and the idea is that when the user leaves the mouse over a certain point in the graph, a pop up string would appear (after some delay) showing some information.

 

The main issue is that I wan to have everything inside the XControl, so that I do not have to worry about monitoring the mouse events in the main pane...

 

I have achieved this outside the XControl easily using a time elapsed control which is resetvery time that the user moves the mouse. When the time has finally elapsed, I activate the visibility of the string with the information I want to display. However, within the XControl it does not work properly as it is not running constantly (therefore when the out!) 

 

 

I thought of opening a dummy vi containing the elapsed time function when the XControl is initialized and then set the values of a control within the XControl to awake it and display the string, but for some reason, the XControl does not allow me to Call a vi by reference.

 

Any ideas on how this could be done?

 

Thank you very much in advance
