dataTipField/dataTipFunction is used to map the dataProvider to a string
to be displayed by a renderer. The renderer can just call
itemToDataTip(data) on the column. The resulting string is the
dataTip/tooltip.
If I plug such a renderer into a DG with data that looks like {
firstname: "alex", lastname: "harui" } I can set the dataTipField to
"lastname", but If I've got some complex XML like
<person>
<name>
<firstName>Alex</firstName>
<lastName>Harui</lastName>
</name>
<address>
<city>SF</city>
<state>CA</state>
</address>
</person>
I can cook up a dataTipFunction like
data..lastName + ", " + data..firstName + " " + data..city
I think that's what you want, or I don't understand what you're looking
for.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: showDataTips are not working for the Datagrid
columns having itemRenderers
I guess I'm missing something obvious...are you saying to create the
datatip field ahead of
time in the file with the datagrid, and put a data tip function in the
item renderer that
accesses that field if it exists?
