PopUp-Help in smartGWT

[Xsi]

Hello everyone,

remember in many old GUI applications you had a button called "what's this" or something like that. when you click it, a little question mark appears near the cursor arrow. you then click on a control (button, text field, etc) and a little rectangle with help information appears. it would disappear upon the next click anywhere on the screen.

see attachments for an example.

my question is - what is the best way to do such a thing in smartGWT? is there any native framework mechanism for this?


Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can set an hover.

Hi,

or with a FormItemIcon:

that hover is the closest thing, but I need it to appear upon a click on the desired control and disappear upon a click anywhere.
