There may be a better and easier way, or I could be wrong, but you might be able to listen for the ToolTipEvent.TOOL_TIP_START event and preventDefault() or stopImmediatePropagation() if the target is of type AdvancedDataGridHeaderRenderer. Another option may be to implement your own custom header renderer which prevents this behavior. HTH, Ryan

However, the header also has a tooltip. When I hover over it, I see "myText." Is there any way to turn that useless tooltip off for the header, while keeping tips for the actual data?
