Dynamic tool tip

Hi guys
I'm wondering if it is possible to have the tool tip for a dropdown box based on the entries in the drop down box.
so if the user could select "a", "b", or "c" from the drop down box, the tool tip would read "a / b / c"
I could of course type it out manually, but I have several dozen and a universal script would be much quicker.
Thank you

Hi,
Adobe have an excellent guide to "Calculations and Scripts", it goes back to v6 but is still applicable today. I can't find it on the Adobe web site so I will upload it.
It covers a lot of visual feedback script and is grouped by object type which is very handy. The information is probably available elsewhere, like the help file (but sometimes you need to know what you are looking for; in order to find it).
Anyway something like this in the exit event:
var vAnswer = this rawValue;
switch(vAnswer)
     case "a":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected A";
     break;
     case "b":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected B";
     break;
     case "c":
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "You have selected C";
     break;
     default:
     DropDownList1.assist.toolTip = "Please select between a, b, or c";
     break;
Hope that helps,
Niall

Thanks in Advance.
How to implement Dynamic Tool TIP in the Table Control for Particularly One Columnn.
i.e rows in that Column.
Note : Column contains Currency Type Data
For that column, i am calculating the Quantity Multiplied with the Exchange Rate.
That Calculation should be visible in the Tool TIP.
Regards:

Hi
Take Text Element Radio button there and give any number and activate.
If the Visible lenght of the Table Control Field is less than actual length of the Content, it automatically displays the Tool Tip.
I just did it.
Hope this serves your purpose.
Get it fram Sam

Dynamic Tool tip text/Quick Info

Is it possible to have dynamic tool tip text when you hover over an icon on a report? I know you can change the function key text but these icons are present on the report itself.
Any ideas?!

Check if you have the QUICKINFO option for the WRITE statement for your release.

Dynamic Tool Tip Options

Hi All,
Could any body tell , different types of dynamic tool tips are possible in OAF.
Regards,
Raghava

Hi Raghava,
You can use this code :
vorow.setAttribute("ToolTip","Your Message");
OATableBean tableBean=(OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("VO Name");
OAImageBean c1 = (OAImageBean)tableBean.findChildRecursive("Value for which this tooltip should display");
OADataBoundValueViewObject tip = new OADataBoundValueViewObject(c1,"ToolTip");
c1.setAttributeValue(oracle.cabo.ui.UIConstants.SHORT_DESC_ATTR, tip);
Hope this may help.

Tool tips on chart axis

Is there a way to create a dynamic tool tip for the labels on
the chart axis. For example I have a bar chart that shows the
quantity ordered in 5 categories. I want to be able to add a tool
tip to the category label on the vertical axis to help explain what
the category is. I need this tool tip to change based on the
category that is rolled over. I'm assuming I should be able to do
something with the ToolTipCreate action on an axis renderer but I
can't figure out how to find out which label is being moused over.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if you're refering to components you can place in containers, but if you are, there's a ToolTipText option in the component inspector for every component you can select. If you want to change the tooltips manually for specific components, you can use the method (Component).setToolTipText(String text). Hope that helps...
hello again,
just one more question :) i was wondering if anyone
knows how to implement tool tips with controls in
JavaForte. i looked through the properties window,
but didnt see any .ToolTipText property.... i know
its possible, and probably just one line of code,
anyone know it? thanks a lot in advance for any help!
talk to ya later,

Showing dynamic text on tool tip

Hi Gurus,
I have the following requirements :
In our system we have to show the Hijri dates for the corresponding Gregorian Date in Standard Oralce Self Service Forms on Mouse Over of that text as tool tip or by some other means.
Can anyone suggest solution for this.
In custom table we have stored Hirji and corresponding Gregorian dates.
I can create a view object which can query the Hijri date from the database for the Gregorian date.
Problem is how to display this Hijri date as Tool tip .
Thanks

Tool Tip Code

I have the below code that works great, however I want to
make some minor adjustments to make the tool tip a bit more
dynamic.
1) Need the Text to be Bold
2) I would like rounded corners instead of a plain box
3) I would like to add a slight drop shadow behind tool tip
box
Can anyone take a look at the code and help me clean it up
and also add the above attributes!
Thanks in advance!

Interactive Report Filter Operator Tool Tip

version 4.0.2.00.07
Hello,
I had question raised to add a Tool Tip to the Operators in the Filter on the Interactive Reports.
When the Operator select list is displayed the Managers don't know what all the operators mean. I noticed that if the mouse is hovered over an operator there is a Tool Tip displayed that says "Operator".
Where and how could that Tool Tip be modified to display a defination of what that operator is for, if it can be done at all?
Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Joe

Erik-jan,
I was hoping I could ask for you assistance again, if possible.
I've made progress on this task, but I'm also having some issues.
I've obtained the code as you've suggested and found that there are a few Operator lists.
There are:
apexir_STRING_OPT
apexir_CLOB_OPT
apexir_NUMBER_OPT
apexir_DATE_OPT
apexir_PSEUDO_OPT
What I've done:
Created Dynamic Actions for:
apexir_STRING_OPT
apexir_CLOB_OPT
apexir_NUMBER_OPT
apexir_DATE_OPT
For each Operator list the Dynamic Actions are created like (changing the names and Operator selections as needed):
name: Add tooltip to Date filter operators
- event: Get Focus
- selection type: jQuery Selector
- jQuery Selector: select#apexir_DATE_OPT
Create a true action with the following settings:
- action: Execute Javascript Code
- code:
$(this.triggeringElement).find('option').each(function()
 if(this.value == ">")
 $(this).attr("title", "greater than - Value in Column is greater than the value in Expression");
 else if(this.value == ">=")
 $(this).attr("title", "greater than or equal to - Value in Column is greater than or equal to the value in Expression");
 else if(this.value == "<")
 $(this).attr("title", "less than - Value in Column is less than the value in Expression");
 else if(this.value == "<=")
 $(this).attr("title", "less than or equal to - Value in Column is less than or equal to the value in Expression");
 else if(this.value == "is null")
 $(this).attr("title", "is null - Value in Column is empty");
 else if(this.value == "is not null")
 $(this).attr("title", "is not null - Value in Column is not empty");
 else if(this.value == "is in the last")
 $(this).attr("title", "is in the last - Value in Column is in the last x timeframe");
 else if(this.value == "is not in the last")
 $(this).attr("title", "is not in the last - Value in Column is not in the last x timeframe");
 else if(this.value == "is in the next")
 $(this).attr("title", "is in the next - Value in Column is in the last x timeframe");
 else if(this.value == "is not in the next")
 $(this).attr("title", "is not in the next - Value in Column is not in the last x timeframe");
 else if(this.value == "between")
 $(this).attr("title", "between - Provides a means to test whether an Expression falls within a range of Values");
})The problem is that the Tool Tips are only showing for the STRING Operator list. If a numeric column or a date column are selected the Tool Tip shows as 'Operator'. I thought that maybe it was a conflict with all these Dynamic Actions so I moved the STRING Dynamic Action to the last one in the sequence and put the DATE Dynamic Action as the first in the sequence. Still only the Tool Tips for the STRING columns are displayed and not the NUMERIC or DATE.
I've tried to see if there was possibly a different name being used for the two lists that don't display, but I haven't found any other place where these lists are being created. I haven't found a way to set a breakpoint to confirm that's indeed the list being created with those names.
Would you have any ideas here?
Thanks,
Joe

Tool tip memory leak

I seem to have a memory leak associated with tool tips. When ever I place the mouse over a panel using tool tips I cas see the dynamic memory usage continuously increasing. If I comment out the call to the tool tip functions (i.e. SetCtrlToolTipAttribute), the memory leak dissapears.
Solved!

Enable tool tip in Exported PDF document from a CRE Report

Hi All,
We are on BObj 4.0 and using CRE for our reports. We have enabled Tool tip text on mouse over for certain labels which works great in browser. When we export to PDF, we dont see the Tool tip text. Is there a way we can configure this in CRE so that the exported PDF also shows the Tool tip text?
Regards,
Sundar

I checked online and found this Note - 1567798 - Crystal Reports does not export Tool Tips when exported to Pdf Format. Does this apply to CRE also or just CR 2008?
