Setting hover string in tabs

[gorfin86]

Hi,

I would like to dynamically change a hover string on tabs.
I use setPrompt() method on Tab object, and newly provided string is shown on tab only in case when I set it before the tab is attached to TabSet. If I invoke setPrompt() method later, the prompt string is not changed.

Is it a bug? How can I workaround this?

Thanks in advance.

hi ,

Its not a bug..

for setPrompt(String) displayed in hover canvas only if showHover is true.
so put setShowHover(true);
then setPrompt(String);

or else u can use setTooltip(String);

The original post is correct. Changing the prompt string with setPrompt() doesn't change the text that shows in the hover. Is there a way to have the hover text be dynamic?

Call tabSet.getTabCanvas().setPrompt() if the TabSet has already been drawn.
