I believe at the moment you have to write a custom cell renderer to get toolTip support in the List and DataGrid.  We're looking at improving that in a future release.

Subject: [flexcoders] Using tooltips with List & DataGrid

 

Hi flexcoders,

I'm running into some problems when trying to use tooltips for the
individual rows of a DataGrid. It seems to me that when I set the
toolTip property on the DataGrid itself, I get one tooltip when any row
is hovered over, but that tooltip doesn't change when different rows are
successively rolled over after that. It's as though all rows are treated
together as one single component by the tooltip manager.

I tried an alternate approach similar to what I did in order to get drag
and drop working for individual tabs on a TabBar, which was to attempt
to set the toolTip property for each DataGridRow in the DataGrid as it
is created by way of the childCreated event. However, it looks like
childCreated does not get fired by the DataGrid when individual rows are
created (if I just put a trace there, I get no output even after several
rows are created). What event should I look for to detect when a row is
created, so that I can set its toolTip property?

Thanks
