Tooltips in Grids

[EricBrian]

Hello,

does anybody have an example to offer that shows how to use tooltips with a grid?

That is, I want to show a nice tool tip when somebody hovers over the title bar of a grid.... something like the image that I've attached. The mockup attached is only supposed to be a rough display of what I am talking about. It does not have to look like that at all.

Thanks
Eric

Find attached sample code that shows tooltips for the data (not for the header).
It makes use of a custom renderer:



function renClid2 (value, p, record) {
p.attr = 'ext:qtip ="' + record.data['context'] +'"';
return String.format('<b>{0}</b><br />(using:{1})', value, record.data['context']);
}



and here a renderer that uses images for the cells and also custom tooltips:


// render direction using images depending on in/out
function renDirection (direction, c) {
var img, atext;
direction = direction.toUpperCase()
switch (direction) {
case "INCOMING": img = 'incoming.gif'; c.attr = 'ext:qtip ="Incoming Call"'; atext = "Incoming Call"; break;
case "OUTGOING": img = 'outgoing.gif'; c.attr = 'ext:qtip ="Outgoing Call"'; atext = "Outcoming Call"; break;
case "BRIDGED": img = 'arrow_refresh.png'; c.attr = 'ext:qtip ="Bridged Call"'; atext = "Bridged Call"; break;
}

return '<img src="' + img + '" border="0" alt="' + atext + '">';
};


Btw.: I think the idea of this section is to post examples, not to ask for them ;)
So if you have questions about tooltips, i suggest to put these questions in the help forum.
