if you use datatipfield, should only show if the text is cut off. That's not happening? datatipfunction shows always unless it returns "".

Thanks, I'm pretty sure there is a bug in there, perhaps only pertaining to XML data providers. dataTipField still did not work with my XMLList but when I changed to an mx:Model everything worked fine. ...well not everything. Is there a way to only display these data tips when the string is larger than the cell? Right now it always displays them which is kind of annoying. I suppose I could change the style of the data tip so it looks just like the regular cell but with alternating row colors that will be difficult. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > you may also need datatipField or dataTipFunction.
