RE: [flexcoders] Re: Datatip in datagrid not working properly

Crap!  That's a bug.  Please file a bug at bugs.adobe.com/jira.

 

A workaround looks like this:

 

mx:DataGrid id=dg initialize=dg.dataTipField=null

Thanks for your response Alex - my apologies for such a long delay in 
replying.

Here is an example of the problem (see code below) - the datatips are 
displayed regardless of whether the text is clipped.

Any help in figuring out how to only make it show a datatip for text 
that is too long for a cell would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Stuart

 Thanks for your reply Tracy.
 
 For the columns, the only thing I have set is: showDataTips=true
 
 This results in showing a datatip for all cells, not just the ones 
 where the text is too long to fit.
 
 What I want is for a datatip to be displayed only when the text is 
 clipped.
 
 Is there a different property that will only show a datatip only if 
 the text is too long for the cell?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Datatip in datagrid not working properly

2008-04-07 Thread Alex Harui 
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.
