Tool-Tip Text for button

Hello,
I have a button which I have statically associated with a tool-tip text.
I did this by setting the TooltipText to a text element.
However, when I run my program, the tool-tip does not appear
for the button. This button does not have any text it it, only an ICON.
Therefore, I need a tool-tip to inform the user about the functionality
of the button.
Can anyone please tell me how the display the tool-tip?
Best regards,
Divyaman Singh Rawat

HI,
Go to screen layout and double click on the button for which you are setting the toop tip text. Then Attributes window will open. In that window, Just below the 'Icon name' field, there is 'Tooltip' field. You give the tool tip text there.
Also Dont forget to save the layout. After saving come to flow logic and activate the program and run. Then it definetely shows the tool tip when you place the mouse pointer on the button.
Cheers

Tool-tip text for Selection screen buttons.

Hi all,
Got another requirement and need your help.
I have a user-defined selection screen in my program. I would like to know if it is possible to have a tool-tip text ( quick info ) for the Pushbuttons on this selection screen.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Anand Mandalika.

Function Buttons.
For report programs you declare the selection screen appearence with select-options, parameters and selection-screen commands, function key is one of them.
So a quick example
REPORT ZYX.
TYPE-POOLS: ICON.
TABLES: SSCRFIELDS.
DATA: WA_FNTXT TYPE SMP_DYNTXT.
SELECTION-SCREEN FUNCTION KEY 1.
INITIALIZATION.
WA_FNTXT-ICON_ID = ICON_GREEN_LIGHT.
WA_FNTXT-TEXT = 'Go Faster'.
WA_FNTXT-QUICKINFO = 'NO Speed Cameras'.
SSCRFIELDS-FUNCTXT_01 = WA_FNTXT.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
CASE SSCRFIELDS-UCOMM.
WHEN 'FC01'.
etc.

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.

Trying to make tool tip text visible longer

Having no luck finding a way to keep tool tip text visible for longer period of time. Keeping it visible for as long as the mouse is over the component would be ideal but any increase would be helpful.
Is there a way to set the time the tip is displayed?

Hi,
Try the following code:
ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().setDismissDelay(100000);
That should keep your ToolTip showing for a long time. Change the value if you want it longer.

How to set Tool Tip Text to Tree Node?

Hi,
How to set Tool Tip Text to Tree Node in JTree?
Pls somebody help me to solve it.

bsampeieri,
Been here a long time myself. I don't agree with the one post is enough per se. That is to say, sometimes, it helps to post in several groups so that more eyes may see it. A number of forum posters linger in specific forum topics and may not see the post in another forum.
Now, if in the previous post you/others answered the question and then the OP posted here later, I could see the complaint.
For the OP, the better way to cross-post is to have one "main" post, then have all the other posts refer back to that one (link to it) so that people aren't duplicating the effort to answer your question(s). A simple "I have cross-posted this to get more eyes on it. Please reply to this question at this post <link here>"

Dynamic tip text for messageLovInput item

Hello,
I'm trying to create dynamic tip text for a messageLovInput bean using the following code. All I get is this in the text below the field: [email protected] Code snippet:
    OAMessageLovInputBean adsiBean = (OAMessageLovInputBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("AdsiProf");
    OAFormValueBean adsiDescBean = (OAFormValueBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("AdsiProfDesc");
    OADataBoundValueViewObject adsiProfDescBoundValue = new OADataBoundValueViewObject(adsiDescBean, "AdsiProfDesc");
    adsiBean.setAttributeValue(TIP_ATTR, adsiProfDescBoundValue.toString());jDev version: 10.1.3.3.0.3
Oracle DB: 10.2.0.3.0
EBS: 12.1.1
Any help is truly appreciated!
TIA
Alka

Try removing the toString() call here:
adsiBean.setAttributeValue(TIP_ATTR, adsiProfDescBoundValue.toString());so it looks like this:
adsiBean.setAttributeValue(TIP_ATTR, adsiProfDescBoundValue);

Label Text & Tool Tip Text within 9.0.5 dose not work.

When I set the label or tool tip text within the view objects attribute panel, I do not see those values or tips when my views are displayed. I'm using JDeveloper 9.0.5.
Thanks

This is a known issue with the preview release. In the production release, the column headers, message prompts and tips, etc will be EL bound to the values from the model (in the case of BC4J those are the UI Hints).
In the preview release, you can use the visual editor to change the hardcoded column headers, prompts and tips to the text you desire.

Tool Tip(Mouse Over)

Hello All,
I need to create a Tool Tip (Mouse Over) in BI. Requirement is *" I have a dashboard report which shows the different trends by arrows going up & down. When i take my mouse over the Up arrow, a text should come up which says 'Trend is up, because you gained as compared to last quarter'. similarly for Arrow going down. "*
How to create such tool tip (mouse over) in BI. Please suggest.
Regards,
Ashish A.

Hi Ashish, first of all, I am not sure to do a Tool-Tip-Text for Column Headers.
As far as the column formulas, you can still use the code i sent and embed in the already updated column.
Ex: Lets assume you have updated the formula of the column Products."Product ID" as REPLACE(Products."Product ID",'000','1111') || '_PD'. To show Products.Product_Name as a tool tip to the updated ProductID, you can embed the code as
'OpenTag div title=" '|| Products.ProductName || ' " closetag' || REPLACE(Products."Product ID",'000','1111') || '_PD' || 'opentag /div closetag'
Thanks

Tool Tip for a screen field.

Hi,
I have a step loop defined in a screen. I want to show tool tip for the each column. Please let me know how can i do it?
I would really appreciate it.

hi,
&#56256;&#56452; If the meaning of a button cannot be perceived because of short or abbreviated label texts, a detailed description should be available in a tool tip.
To insert a tool tip, proceed as follows: In the Screen Painter element list, choose the General Attributes tab and the Property List column; or the Properties pushbutton in the Layout display on the Attributes window. Insert the TooltipText property to assign a tool tip. This function is only avail-able with R/3 Enterprise or Basis SP 44 (Release 4.6C) and higher.
&#56256;&#56452; Always provide a tool tip on icon-based buttons.
&#56256;&#56452; If a button contains both a text label and an icon, the button must have a tool tip that in-cludes the text description of the meaning of the icon. If the label text and the icon both convey the same information, no tool tip is required if the text is recognized by assistive technology.
&#56256;&#56452; If a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+F3) is available, add this information to the tool tip text.
&#56256;&#56452; If a button handles the Enter keystroke, the buttons tool tip should provide this Default Button information.
&#56256;&#56452; Recommendation: Important buttons provide an optional icon and a mandatory caption text. Align important buttons in the order in which they are read: in Western countries, the most important buttons are aligned left. Standard buttons (such as Save, Back, Search, Next Object, or Previous Object) should not have an additional caption text.
