[flexcoders] DataGrid Tooltips

[Steve House]

With Flex 2, when the user mouses over a row in a datagrid, I would
like to show details of that particular row's object in the tooltip.
The datagrid dataProvider is an ArrayCollection of objects with many
properties.  Only a few of the properties are shown in the DataGrid.

I am currently using this to get a custom tool tip...

(mx:script section)
private function createCustomTip(title:String, body:String,
event:ToolTipEvent):void {
   var rtt:RequestToolTip = new RequestToolTip();
   rtt.title = title
   rtt.bodyText = body;
   event.toolTip = rtt;
}


<mx:DataGrid id="dgRequestList" dataProvider="{requests}" toolTip=" "
toolTipCreate="createCustomTip('DELETE','Click this button to delete
the report.', event)">
   <mx:columns>
      <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Id" dataField="iRequestId"
width="50" />                                 <mx:DataGridColumn 
headerText="Title"
dataField="sRequestTitle" width="300"/>
   </mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>

For example, these objects also have sRequestDescription properties
that I would like to show in the tooltip.

Thanks in advance,
