No tooltips in edit mode in ListGrid

[la123]

Hello,

I should show a tooltip (or a hint) in listgrid cells, when user enters an edit mode. The tooltip/hint should explain what values can be entered in cell.
The problem I see that in Edit mode all the tooltips disappear. How can I fix it?

I use smartGWT 2.1, Internet Explorer 8.0

Here is my code with definition of tooltip:

        ListGrid countryGrid = new ListGrid();
        countryGrid.setCanEdit(true);
        countryGrid.setEditEvent(ListGridEditEvent.CLICK);

        countryGrid.setShowHover(true);
        countryGrid.setCanHover(true);

        ListGridField valueField = new ListGridField("value", "value column");
        valueField.setRequired(true);
        valueField.setShowHover(true);
        valueField.setHoverCustomizer(new HoverCustomizer() {
            public String hoverHTML(Object value, ListGridRecord record, int rowNum, int colNum) {
                return "my tooltip";
            }
        });

        ListGridField nameField = new ListGridField("name", "name");
        nameField.setCanEdit(false);

        countryGrid.setFields(nameField, valueField);

thank you

Use the FormItem hover APIs via setEditorType().

I tried to do as you said. The prompt isn't shown as tooltip. Instead, it appears in a browser status bar. This behavior is unwanted in my case.

Here is the basic test case:

        ListGrid grid = new ListGrid();
        grid.setCanEdit(true);
        grid.setEditEvent(ListGridEditEvent.CLICK);
        grid.setEditByCell(false);//on row click it becomes editable

        grid.setShowHover(true);
        grid.setCanHover(true);

        //create a name field
        ListGridField nameField = new ListGridField("name","Name");
        
        TextItem textItem = new TextItem();
        textItem.setPrompt("test text item prompt");
        nameField.setEditorType(textItem);
        nameField.setCanEdit(true);

        ListGridField descriptionField = new ListGridField("description", "Description");
        descriptionField.setCanEdit(false);

        grid.setFields(nameField, descriptionField);

I tried to set hoverDelay, hoverHeight, hoverWidth, itemHoverFormatter and other hover-related properties - with no effect.

thank you

Hello Isomorphic,

Do you have ideas of a workaround for this bug?


thanks

I noticed that if I add a formIcon, a tooltip starts to show after formicon gets onmouseover event. But sometimes it doesn't work.
Maybe someone knows how to fix this problem? Any support here?

TextItem formItem = new TextItem();
        formItem.setItemHoverFormatter(new FormItemHoverFormatter() {
            @Override
            public String getHoverHTML(FormItem item, DynamicForm form) {
                return "html hover";
            }
        });

        FormItemIcon icon = new FormItemIcon();
        icon.setSrc("[SKIN]/actions/help.png"); 
        icon.setWidth(16);
        icon.setHeight(16);
        icon.setPrompt("icon prompt");

        formItem.setIcons(icon);
