Recommended practice is to call itemToDataTip on the List to get the text of the datatip. If dataTipField or dataTipFunction is not set correctly you may still get [object Object]

You can see how it is done in the default renderer and decide how you want to implement it in your custom renderer.

I've got an object that descends from List, and uses an itemRenderer. Recently, I tried adding datatips to it, but nothing shows up. When I set it to use a datatipFunction, the function never gets called. If, however, I remove the itemRenderer, datatips show up properly. Has anybody seen this sort of thing before? (Note: the ItemRenderer creates two objects, but neither one short-circuits mouse events or have datatip info of their own)
