Update Tooltip Html

[nromanel]

Hi All, a bit confused...

Whats the best way to update the html in a simple tooltip?

i tried:

myToolTip.html = 'new data'
myTolTip.update('new data');

What am I missing?

hey.... were you able to update tooltip ?? I am facing similar issue...

may be we can add a item instead of html and then use updater element to update ??

we need to provide url in update method. Please see Ext.Update

I haven't found an answer yet, and i actually haven't looked at the problem since I posted.
Hopefully I get some time later this week.

@Animal : I am not sure why did you post link to Ext Panel class ??

[Animal]

Did you see what a Tip IS?

[sneema]

yeah I knw... it is a panel... panel -> subclass Tip -> subclass tooltip ... so I understand that adding panel as item doesn't make sense....
I cannot get updator from Tooltip obj, I am not able to directly update the contents... so I cannot figure out any other way to update...

So you didn't follow the link then. Fine.

Trying a different approach and still having a problem... what am I missing

var toolTipTemplate = new Ext.XTemplate(
		'<b>Status:</b> {status}<br/>',
		 '<b>Description:</b> {description}'
	);


var myToolTip = new Ext.ToolTip({
		title: 'My Title',
		width: 200,
		tpl: toolTipTemplate,
		data: {
			status: 'Default Status',
			description: 'Default Description'
		},
        autoHide: false,
        closable: true,
        draggable:true
		});


myToolTip.update({status: 'New Status', description: 'New Description'});

With that snippet of code, the tool tip doesn't get updated with the new info.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

Ahh, so I figured it out... sorta...

When attempting to update the tooltip before it has been rendered once it fails with "el is null" presumably since it hasn't been displayed yet, it's container hasn't been created.

If I show the tooltip and then attempt to update it, it works fine.

So now my question is this... how can I update the tooltip if a user hasn't already viewed it once?

Thanks!
