Possible to disable tooltips for one dataset?

  Is it possible to use multiple datasets and just have the tooltips work on one of them?

  What I want to do is have an area chart that shows real time based data.
  And have an extra line that shows a projection for the last – say – month in the chart.
  Also I want to show a line that is averaged value of the surrounding data. So that will not be a straight line (which I could solve with a striplines) but a new data set.

  I only want the tooltips to work on the real data (area type).

  @nonumber,

  Yes, It is possible to not show the tool-tip for certain dataSeries alone.
  You can do so by setting null to toolTipContent property of dataSeries for which you don’t want to show the tool-tip.

  Please take a look at the code snippet below,

        {        
          type: "column", 
  	toolTipContent: null,        
          showInLegend: true,
          name: "Apple Q1 2012",
          dataPoints: [
          {y: 15.40, label: "iPads" },
          {y: 37.00, label: "iPhones" },
          {y: 15.40, label: "iPod" },
          {y: 5.20, label: "Macs" }
          ]
        }, 

  Kindly take a look at this JSFiddle for an example on not showing tool-tip for a specific data-series.
