Seems the issue is it doesnt take account of the vertical scrollbar when deciding to display a datatip.
If its on and the string is covered by the scrollbar but the string isnt wide enough to be larger than the external width of the List you dont get a tooltip. When I mouse over a really long string it works, when I mouse over another one thats not so long even though it is cropped by the ScrollBar it wont show the dataTip. tks --- In [email protected], "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > dataTipFIeld matches labelField? > > > > ________________________________ > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of reflexactions > Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 9:31 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [flexcoders] List and showDataTips > > > > According to the docs: > "The default behavior of the showDataTips property is to display the > label text." > > OK so I set showDataTips="true" on a List, I have lots of long strings > in the list that are cropped... > > But... > > Dont get any dataTips at all when I mouse over a row in the list... > > Why? > tks >
