Hi,

I am currently using v7.5, I would like to know is it possible for me to get or create below option.

I have certain sensors for which I want to display their readings whenever the cursor is hovered over them.

Waiting for your valuable feedbacks.

Bind an expression creating the appropriate string (from the reading) to the component’s tooltip property.

Whoops – answer on wrong topic —  
Try something like this (as a tooltip binding expression on a numeric label):

```auto
stringFormat("Current value: %.2f units", {Root Container.Numeric Label.value})

```

Obviously you wouldn’t actually use with a numeric label, as that is already showing the value, but you can do something similar on any component that supports tooltips.
