Hi there,
I currently need to display tool-tips on disabled buttons (widgets) to show the
user the reason why this button is (currently) disabled.
This has been asked a while ago[1] but with no result.
I currently have to apply a patch to the framework because the display is
handled by a singleton handler, so deriving does not make any sense here. But
patching the framework is only "a last resort"...
I would propose the following changes:
a) qx.ui.core.Widget
=================
Add a property "showToolTipWhenDisabled" (we can discuss the name of
this property of course ;) )
b) qx.ui.tooltip.Manager
=====================
Change the code in showToolTip method that prevents tool-tip display
(line 326):
<code>
|| (!target.getEnabled() && !target.isShowToolTipWhenDisabled() )
</code>
These changes would not change the behavior of the other tool-tip related
properties I hope (see playground[2] example, too)
Attached you will find a patch (Version 3.0.2 based) for easier overview.
I hope this can find it's way into the framework.
I will do the work of issuing the enhancement bug of course ;)
Regards,
Peter
