Tooltip for tabpage

hi there, when hovering over a tabpage , a tooltip pop-ups with the same text as the tabpage label.
I thought it was able to set / change this value but i'am wrong since no tooltip property appear in the property palet of the tabpage.
Also i don't know any built in to set / change this value.
Can anyone confirm this is not possible or may be someone can offer a workaround ?
thanks

How to assign a tooltip for a field in ALV editable grid?

I have to display some instructions ( 50 chars long) for an editable field in alv.
How to do this?
BCALV_DEMO_TOOLTIP tells about assiging tooltip to an icon or symbol.
Thanks,
Ven..

Neither of these two example programs help much in regards to tooltips against any field of any row. Both of these examples use tooltips for Icons. I have also been looking for a single example of tooltips usage outside of these two programs, and have found nothing in SAP, or on the internet, so far.
Having said that, I have tried to implement the same method used by the later example, but have not got this to work. What I think we need is an example of this functionality where these Icons are not used!. I believe.

Jquery tooltip for sharepoint 2013 list (newform.aspx)

I am looking for a simple solution/jquery tooltip for SharePoint list form fields.
Something like below , but this one displays static text for each column and want tooltip text for each of my list column
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/wz_tooltip.js"></script><o:p></o:p>
<a href="#" onmouseover="Tip('(This is test tooltip )');" onmouseout="UnTip();">
Thanks in advance!
<o:p></o:p>

When you assign "Description" for every field in sharepoint list.SharePoint by default show this desc in a span just below the field control , like this.
<span class="ms-metadata">This is simple desc</span>
What you can try in jquery/javascript is to -
- Search for this span [class="ms-metadata"] in your form table (table[class="ms-formtable"])
- save its text() in a variable - var txtDesc = $("span selector").text();
- Hide this span -$("span selector").hide()
- Now you have dynamic desc message , you can add this as an "Title" attribute to your field control (textbox and other control)
- $("your field control selector").attr("Title", txtDesc );
Or can add a hyperlink for this -
<a href="#" onmouseover="Tip('"+ txtDesc +"');" onmouseout="UnTip();">

Is there a way to have tooltips for every column in a TableView?

Hi there!
I found in documentation that any node and control can show a tooltip ( http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/control/Tooltip.html ) but I can't get tooltips to work for TableColumn (a column from TableView).
Do you have any idea how could I have tooltips for each column of the table view?

TableColumn's are neither controls nor nodes, so you can neither set nor install tooltips on them.
You can use cellfactories to set tooltips on cells generated from the factories.
You can use css style lookups (node.lookup function) to get access to table nodes (such as the headers) after the tableview has been displayed on a stage and then manipulate the displayed nodes to add tooltips. It's not a great approach, but it is the only approach I know at the moment that would work.

Problem with setting tooltips for items of a JCombobox

hi guys,
I want to set tooltips for items of JComboBox & the code that i have written is given below , but the tooltip text is set for all the items of Nonitindustrycombo but the tooltips remain the same even for Nonitdesgcombo's items.
Is that we need to refresh the ComboboxRenderer every time ?
I am not able to trace out the exact reason for this,please if anyone can suggest me something regarding this would be of great use to me.
class Searchpanel extends JPanel {
String[] str = null;
public SearchPanel(){
Nonitindustrycombo.addItem("--Select--");
ArrayList NonITindus = ERPModel.getAllNonitIndustry(); //gets all the items(strings) for Nonitindustrycombo
for (Iterator iter = NonITindus.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
String str = iter.next().toString();
Nonitindustrycombo.addItem(str);
SetTooltip(Nonitindustrycombo,NonITindus);
Nonitdesgcombo.addItem("--Select---");
ArrayList desg = ERPModel.getAllNonitDesg(); //gets all the items(strings) for Nonitdesgcombo
for (Iterator iter = desg.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
Nonitdesgcombo.addItem(iter.next());
SetTooltip(Nonitdesgcombo,desg);
class MyComboBoxRenderer extends BasicComboBoxRenderer
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected,
boolean cellHasFocus)
if (isSelected)
setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
if (0 < (index))
list.setToolTipText(str[index - 1]);
else
setBackground(list.getBackground());
setForeground(list.getForeground());
setFont(list.getFont());
setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
return this;
private void SetTooltip(JComboBox combo,ArrayList arr){
str = (String []) arr.toArray (new String [arr.size ()]);
combo.setRenderer(new MyComboBoxRenderer());
public static void main(String[] args){
new SearchPanel();
Thanks ,

1) You where given a working example in your last posting on this topic. Compare your code with the working code to see whats different and fix it.
2) The code you posted doesn't compile.
3) You didn't use the "Code Formatting Tags" when you posted your code so it not readable.

Multiline tooltip for JComboBox items.

Hi, As the title suggests I'd like to create a multiline tooltip for items in a combobox list.
I have implemented a multiline tooltip renderer which works perfectly on any component except JComboBox items.
I have also implemented a ListCellRenderer for a combobox that enables tooltips for the combobox items. Also works perfectly, except that they are single line tooltips.
The tooltip text is read from an xml file, therefore I have no control on how long the line of text is. Most of the time the text also contains newlines.
This is the method (overridden from JComponent) added to a subclass of a component so that that component uses the MultiLineToolTip:
    public JToolTip createToolTip() {
        MultiLineToolTip tip = new MultiLineToolTip(this);
        tip.setComponent(this);
        return tip;
    }And this is the ListCellRenderer used on the combobox, so that items have (single-line) tooltips enabled:
    private class ToolTipEnabledComboBoxRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer{
         public ToolTipEnabledComboBoxRenderer(){
              setOpaque(true);
         public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list,Object value,
                                                          int index,boolean isSelected,
                                                          boolean cellHasFocus) {
              String entry = (String)value;
              if (isSelected || cellHasFocus) {
                   this.setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
                   setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
              } else {
                   this.setBackground(list.getBackground());
                   setForeground(list.getForeground());
              this.setText(entry);
              if(isSelected || cellHasFocus){
                   if(constraint!=null &&combobox!=null &&
                               constraint.getType() == Constrained.CONTROLLED_VOCABULARY){
                        String tooltip = ((ControlledVocabulary)constraint).getEntryDescription(entry);
                        if(tooltip==null || tooltip.equals("")){
                             tooltip="";
                        list.setToolTipText(tooltip);
              return this;
    }It seems to me that what I have to do is subclass the list used by the combobox and override the createToolTip() method. But how can I set the list used by the combobox? As far as I know the only time I can access the list is in the getListCellRendererComponent() method of the ListCellRenderer, in which the list is a parameter.
Any ideas?
Don

FPM: Tooltip for the start button

Hi FPM experts,
I have one question/requirement concerning the start button within the FPM GAFfloorplan. I would like to add a tooltip to that button. I know that this button is part of the FPM and can not be influenced during design time.
Nevertheless I hoped to be able to influence the button during runtime, namely by using the interface IF_FPM_CNR_GAF and the method DEFINE_BUTTON. According to the Developers Guide for FPM Release 701 this should work for standard buttons. However I did not succeed in using this method.
When taking a closer look at the signature I also became aware that there is one parameter missing in the signature of the interface that is described within the Developers Guide (IV_SCREEN): To the best of my knowledge this parameter is not available in 7.01/7.1 systems.
Any help on that topic is appreciated!
Thanks
Christian

Tooltip for IR report(Apex 3.2)header column

Hello Everyone,
I need help in setting up a tooltip for report hearder in interactive reports. I tried the following methods:
1) By assigning a div title for column Deptno(This code is taken from the html source of IR report column):
<th id="DEPTNO" >
<div id="apexir_DEPTNO" onclick="gReport.controls.widget(this.id)" style="">
Deptno

Hi,
Blog post example do not work with APEX 3.2
By default on APEX 3.2 you do not have jQuery and dynamic actions.
You can do same with APEX 3.2 if you use htmldbQuery plugin
http://sourceforge.net/projects/htmldbquery/
Integrate plugin and jQuery to APEX
Then create page process before regions
DECLARE
l_sql VARCHAR2(32700);
BEGIN
l_sql := '
SELECT COLUMN_ALIAS,
    HELP_TEXT
   FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COL
WHERE APPLICATION_ID = :APP_ID
    AND PAGE_ID = :APP_PAGE_ID
    AND HELP_TEXT IS NOT NULL
HTP.p ('<script type="text/javascript">');
-- Create JSON object.
HTP.prn ('var gIrColHelp = $u_eval(''(');
APEX_UTIL.JSON_FROM_SQL(l_sql);
HTP.prn (')'');');
HTP.p ('</script>');
END;Add to page HTML header
<script type="text/javascript">
$.htmldbIrReady(function(){
$.each(gIrColHelp.row,function(i,jd){
$($x("apexir_"+jd.COLUMN_ALIAS)).parent("th").attr({"title":jd.HELP_TEXT});
</script>See working example

Setting tooltip for columns in a JTable

Hi!
I have a JTable inside a JScrollPane. How do I set tooltip for each columnheader of the JTable?
I have noted that if I don�t have the JTable within the JScrollPane, the columnheaders are not shown.
Regards
Johan

1) You need to set the tooptip text on the renderer for the column (yourTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(...).getHeaderRenderer()).
2) The header is a separate component to the table. When you add a table to a scroll pane it automatically adds the header to the scroll pane too. You can get the component (yourTable.getTableHeader()) and add it to your own container if you wish.

Tooltip for chart's bar or line

Hi,
I need to set a tooltip for my chart's bars, so when the user hovers on each one the chart's bars, a tooltip popup and give that bar's value. I heard there is no direct solution for this problem. If so, can we solve this problem in any advanced tricky way or I should just look for some other reporting tool other that Crystal Reports to meet this requirement?
Thanks,
Al

Thank you very much! It's funny that I've been looking for something that already existed as you pointed. By the way, can I change the bar's default tooltip's text? I just need to have the x-axis value on the tooltip. I need to exclude the field name from the tooltip's text. Thanks again.
Regards,
Al

Adding different tooltip for a column in table??

Hi here,
I have read the similar title "Adding ToolTip for individual cell in the table".
The method that use "tableModel" and "override getToolTipText" for individual cell is useful for individual cell with tooltip that i have tried.
How could i get the tooltip for each columns and show every row value on each tooltip.I wish when mouse moved above a column and the column could show all of that column's row value.
Please help me.
Thanks..

your explanation sounds a bit confusing but if i got you right
you could do something like this in your table
public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent me)
      int row = this.rowAtPoint(me.getPoint());
      StringBuffer tooltip = new StringBuffer();
      for(int i=0; i<getColumnCount; i++)
         tooltip.append(getValueAt(row, i).toString());
      return tooltip.toString();
   }

Set a tooltip for a shape, not a button

Hi everybody,
Hope you are all ok wherever you are :)
I have this little problem guys; I want to set a tooltip button in my application but the problem is that i'm not using buttons but shapes instead, in which shapes i've added mouse click handle code.
I need when the mouse goes over these shapes-buttons i have, some tooltip text to be displayed. I've tried to create a rectangle and display the small text i want into that rectangle and then call repaint for restoring the program to the previous state before the tooltip display, but unfortunately it is too slow.
Can you please help me out of that? Can you give a way of setting tooltips for shapes instead of buttons?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-John

Your trying to set a tooltip for a given area on some JComponent defined by a Shape which holds the points that make up the border of the Shape, like GeneralPath or something like that? Is that what you mean? I'm not sure but I think you can use Shape.contains(Point2D ...) without actually have drawn the Shape, so that you can test where the mouse is on your JComponent, then check contains to see if a tooltip needs to be displayed. You'll have to write your own tooltip frame that's not dependent on a JComponent, but thats fairly straightforward. Don't know if this is any help to you, but its a possibility.
Tom
ioannisc: the OP talks about the use of Shape's, where did subclasses of JComponent come into it?!
