Setting tooltip on a FormItem

[farrukh_najmi]

Is there a way to set a tooltip for a FormItem? I realize there is a FormItem.setHint(String hint) method which shows the hint to the right of items active area. Unfortunately this takes too much space for me and tooltip would be a better way to provide the hint.

Is this possible? If not, can this be considered as RFE? Thanks.

I think the answer lies in using FormItem.setHintStyle(String style). Only problem is I am not sure what string to use for style to get tooltips.

formItem.prompt (if available in SmartGWT and not just core) is the text to show as a tooltip.

Thanks so very much. I missed that API call as I was looking for setTooltip(). I filed an RFE to rename this method so it is more obvious. Thanks again.
