Example of how to intercept TOOL_TIP_SHOW, please.
Alternately, all I really want to do is change the horizontal and
vertical offset of the ToolTIp from the item it describes. Any easy,
app-wide way to do this?
cheers, ethan
I think you intercept TOOL_TIP_SHOW and give it a different
position. The ToolTipMgr should have placed it already where it
think it should be.
You can set the ToolTipManager.toolTipClass to have all instances of
tooltips be something else, but you should extend ToolTip in your
custom ToolTip.

Subject: [flexcoders] Positioning Custom ToolTips
Greetings -
Per the Flex documentation, I'm using a custom component as a ToolTip
by intercepting the toolTipCreate event, as describe below:
"In your application, you can create a custom ToolTip by intercepting
the toolTipCreate event handler of the target component. In the event
handler, you instantiate the new ToolTip and set its properties. You
then point the toolTipproperty of the ToolTipEvent object to the new
ToolTip."
Unlike using the ToolTip Manager, however, which accepts x,y
positioning arguments, it's unclear how to position the custom tooltip
invoked using the intercept and custom class approach....
So, this leaves me with two questions:
1. Using a custom class or component created using the incercept
approach, is there a way to position the tip?
or
2. Is there way to use a custom class or component for the tip when
using ToolTip Manager to create them?
Thanks!
ethan
