add tooltip on a tabPanel

[danyric]

Hi,

Is there a way to add a tooltip on each tabItem of a TabPanel component, as when the mouse is over the tabItem title, a tooltip appeared.
I've tried to add a tooltip on a tabItem but the tooltip appear only when the item is clicked, and not when the mouse is over the title of the tabitem.

Thanks in advance for your help.

How have you added this? Tooltips implemented by GXT never show onclick.

Hi sven, I would like a behaviour as described in this picture

but it's seems that 's not possible to do this simply.
by example, the code below, doesn't implement this behaviour.

    final TabPanel lTabs = new TabPanel();

    TabItem infosGenTabItem = new TabItem();
    infosGenTabItem .setToolTip(new ToolTipConfig("Information", "Prints the current document"));
    lTabs.add(infosGenTabItem ); 

An idea how I can implement it, will be very appreciate.

Have you tried to directly set it to the header?

tabItem.getHeader() .setToolTip(new ToolTipConfig("Information", "Prints the current document"));

I've just tried your code above, and it works well, thanks a lot for your help sven. I did not mention there's an header component.
