Is it just me or do others think that the dataTipFunction doesn't really fit within the "label function" framework? I don't see why it isn't formatted like the labelFunction so that we could use those two functions interchangeably our app?
For example, I created a bunch of standard Date formatters that take the "item" & "column" parameters and return a formatted date string. Each method returns the date formatted in a different way. However, I can't use these for dataTips since the dataTipFunction doesn't send the column parameter. Therefore if I have a DataGrid that I want the date in the column to appear one way and the data tip to be the same date in a different format, I have to create a new set of functions for my the dataTip AND the are pretty much useful only to one type of object since I have to hard code the parameter that I want formatted. I am wondering why these label function method signatures wouldn't be formated the same way so that we can write general functions and use them across our application. Am I missing something OR is there a way to pass additional parameters to a label function that I don't know about? - Kevin
