Most of the time, folks just need to pick out one field from the data object, often the same as the label. Leaving dataTipFunction as null and setting dataField works for those situations. If dataTipFunction is not null, the datatips are always shown. If you must use dataTipFunction, I would subclass the item renderer and alter then its tooltip property is null.

So it seems the documentation is not correct regarding datatips. Please help me understand your statement, "Otherwise, it should require clipped text." --- Does this mean that if I used another function or property it would work as I want it to? How do I accomplish showing a tooltip/datatip-like feature only for cells with clipped text?
