Yeah, I tried that, the Datagrid tooltip only shows for the top of the grid, not the whole grid and the dataTipFunction doesn't work either. Heres what I tried:
on the dataGridColumn tag I inserted this: dataTipFunction="showDataTip" and my function looks like this: function showDataTip(eventObj:Object){ return "Click a row to select it"; } But nothing shows :-( That is what the docs say too, which is confusing. I'll have to keep on trying.
