Any better way to show tooltips on menu items?

[d.cavestro]

I've seen some years ago there was a guy complaining for the lack of a way to show a tooltip/prompt for menu items.
I made tooltips available on my menu items exploiting the ListGrid nature of menus. Here you are a raw example

final Menu menu = new Menu();
menu.setCanHover(true);

final ListGridField[] fields = menu.getFields();
for (final ListGridField listGridField : fields) {
    listGridField.setShowHover(true);
    listGridField.setHoverCustomizer(new HoverCustomizer() {
        @Override
        public String hoverHTML(final Object value, final ListGridRecord record, final int rowNum,
                        final int colNum) {
            //return prompt text following proper logic i.e. accessing an array of menu items
            return myItems[rowNum].getPrompt(); 
        }
    });
}
//add items to menu

I left here this example in the interest of other folks that need the same.
Just wondering if there's a better way to achieve the same :-)

It works on Smartgwt 3.0

prompt on Menu and MenuItem

Thanks a lot. Its a nice post.

I want to show the prompt on Menu as well as MenuItem.

Here is my code and working fine.

    public class CustomMenu extends Menu {
    
        public CustomMenu (){
            setCanHover(true);
            setShowHoverComponents(true);
            setHoverCustomizer(new HoverCustomizer() {
    
                @Override
                public String hoverHTML(Object value, ListGridRecord record, int rowNum, int colNum) {
                    return "my custom title";
                }
    
          }
    }
