Tooltip text/mouseover

I have a table which returns one column - tooltip text for any given primary key. The user would like to have a .png image of a question mark and when the user "mouses over"/"hovers" over the "?", the tooltip text would appear, but they don't want the table/column contents displayed continuously, just the picture of the question mark until the user consciously mouses/hovers over the picture. Any thoughts? We're using OBIEE on 11g v.11.1.1.6.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CommandNavigationItem does not show tooltip text in IE7 alone.

ADF Version - 11.1.1.4.0/11.1.1.5.0
The 'commandNavigationItem' does not display the tooltip text provided for 'shortDesc' attribute. This is seen just in IE7. Works well with IE8, Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
Pasting the snippet of the code used:
<f:facet name="end">
<af:panelGroupLayout layout="horizontal" id="pt_pgl7">
<af:navigationPane hint="buttons" id="pt_np1">
<af:commandNavigationItem icon="#{imagesRes.HOME}"
immediate="true"
rendered="#{appData.personAuthenticated}"
shortDesc="#{globalRes['MENU.MAIN.HOME.DEFALUT']}"
action="#{appData.getHomeAction}"
id="pt_cni1" text=" "/>
</af:navigationPane>
</af:panelGroupLayout>
</f:facet>

Can we have a tooltip text, formatted on 2 and more rows

Hello,
I am interested if it is possible (in List GUIBB) to make a tooltip(on a list cell), containing additional description, formatted on 2 and more rows like bulleted list.
As I can see the "tooltip" field in the fields description(parameter structure FPMGB_S_LISTFIELD_DESCR of below method) is of type char(100), but I can also assign "tooltip_ref" in method if_fpm_guibb_list~get_definition.
I tried to insert some special symbol like "\n" but it was rendered exactly.

I solved the problem already by using the special character constant cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline for new-line-segmenting the tooltip text on lines.
(In List GUIBB)I have added a technical field to the field catalog in method IF_FPM_GUIBB_LISTGET_DEFINITION and then in method IF_FPM_GUIBB_LISTGET_DATA assigned the field "tooltip_ref" (thus got limitation of 512 chars instead of "tooltip", which is limited at only 100 chars) of the field description structure to it.

Add tooltip text to a Custom Toolbar Item (attached to Skin)

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of a quick way of creating tooltip text when you hover over a custom button?
I have created a Feedback button. I want the button to be labelled "Feedback" but would like the hover text to say something like " Send email to Support".
There is an OnMouseOver option but I can't work how to make this happen, or if this way is actually a valid option.
Thanks very much.
Emma

Wondering if adding an image to the button to indicate eMail would do the job?

Thanks a lot

Hello Marc,
WebDynpro Point, Series and SimpleSeries elements have a tooltip property that you can define whether in design time or runtime.
Please see the details here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/dd/65d79bb3b2e34e8b68f59129e7d811/frameset.htm

ToolTip text disappearing

I have a ( Swing ) GUI with buttons down the left side next to a graphics canvas. The ToolTip text which I have set for the buttons only appears over the panel and will not overlap onto the canvas. Is this a surmountable problem, or is it something that isn't "fixable"?
Thanks
Chris Green
( I am using JDK1.3 )

There is still a solution to your proplem. Instead of Canvas you can try to use a JLabel like:
1. Write all your graphics to an Image (like in double buffering)
2. Create an ImageIcon
3. Set ImageIcon for your JLabel
(perhaps you should put your JLabel on a JPanel)
//this JLabel will be used instead of canvas
private JLabel jcanvas = new JLabel(); //no text
Image img = getYourUpdatedImage();
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(img);
jcanvas.setIcon(icon);This way your ToolTips won't be cut, and there won't be any flickering.
Cheers!

Display item values by ToolTip text

Hi
Dear Friends & Gurus,
I'm using Forms 6i. Now I have a multi record block in which I am showing the Employee records(empno,ename,job,sal and so on..) My requirement is when I change the value of salary and employee name or any column value and move to next item when i place the mouse back on to this Sal, ename text field it must be displayed the old salary and ename value by ToolTip text. I thought of achieving this by ToolTip_text.And which trigger i will use to perform these tasks.
Please help me .It is urgent - please help.
Thank you.
With Kind Regards,

Hi,
Try using a combination of the following:
a) find the original value on database with:
GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(item_name VARCHAR2,property NUMBER);
item_name = your_item
property = DATABASE_VALUE
b) Then set the tooltip property
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(item_name VARCHAR2,property NUMBER,value VARCHAR2);
item_name = your_item
property = TOOLTIP_PROPERTY
value = GET_ITEM_PROPERTY("your_item",DATABASE_VALUE);

Hugo.

Change tooltip text dinamically... how to doit?

Hi guys! Can somebody helpme with my problem with tooltips? I have a component, it is a JLabel, that has a tooltip.
I implemented a thread that dinamically changes the tooltip text but it is not working. It seems to use the TooltipText present at the moment of ToolTip creation. I mean that setToolTipText does not work when the tooltip is visible.
How can I change dinamically the Tooltip Text?
Any suggestion?
Regards

Not sure if this is the problem, but I would make sure you change the tooltip text in the event thread. See here for more info:

Alternative tooltip text shown when mouseover top level navigation?

Hi,
I've gotten a request about showing a tooltip when the user has his mouse over one of the top-level navigation menus.
For example on SDN if you hold the mouse over weblogs you would get the text : "The weblog section includes short informal rants"
The standard way of doing this is to include an alt attribute in the anchor and allow the browser to render the text as it wants (which is fine by me).
The major problem I see is where do you define this text ?
It has to be attached somehow be attached to a page and therefore probably stored in the PCD.
Has anyone done an implementation on this (or tried to do one) ?
Cheers
Dagfinn

Got it working on my own now.
Implemented it by using the text in the description field.
Create a new top level navigation using the existing class and retrieving the value using the method defined in How to retrieve the description of a role
Then some minor changes to the jsp and js classes.
Of course I might need to redo it after an upgrade, but I just have to live with that.
Cheers
Dagfinn

Can we have a Single quote in the tooltip text?

Hi,
We have some tooltips for the presentation columns which contains a single quote.
When I try to view the tooltip from answers the single quote is being replaced by double quotes.
I tried to use all sorts of escape characters for single quote, like "\'" and ''' and "'" but that didn't work.
Is there any way to do this.
Thanks!!
Vasantha.P

As I said in my earlier post, I am looking for the tooltips for the Presentation tables and columns. The tooltips for these were extracted from the RPD using the externalize Strings option and these externalized strings are stored in the database.
So I am escaping the single using a single quote both in rpd and in the database.
Example text I have used both in the rpd and database is something like "Shipment's start time". I tried with "Shipment''s start time", " Shipment'''s start time", but it didn't work.
Thanks!!

Is there a way to disable tooltip on mouseover in Adobe interactive form?

Hello
I have designed a form with a couple of fields. When I draw the mouse over a field in the form in PDF Preview, a small text is shown (tooltip?). How can I disable this? The problem is that it is showing the name of the field variable and not a helpful description.
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards
Bettina Hepp

Bettina,
This is possible too. For URLField and URLButton do as follows:-
1. Goto the Accesibility Palette --> Select the Screen Reader Preference to Custom Text
2. Enter the Custom Screen Reader Text in the textbox as you like.
3. Save and preview your changes.
Also instead of Image use Image Field from Standard Library, keep the caption as blank and repeat steps mentioned above.

Alt text mouseover in hyperlink text?

I use alt tag text in Dreamweaver CS4 to give a text synopsis of the content on the linked page. If possible, how do you make alt text in the mouse-over of a hyperlink, for PDF output?External hyperlink text does give the address as a mouse-over alt text, but how do you modify that alt text?
If this is impossible in InDesign CS4, what would be the most efficient work-around solution? Comment boxes in Acrobat? Flash?

There is no way that I know to define Alt text when creating a hyperlink. However, if a hyperlink points to a URL, when you pause your mouse over the hyperlink in Acrobat or Reader, a tooltip will show the URL the hyperlink points to.
What you might investigate is using buttons. A little-used feature of creating buttons (which can be used to trigger actions of various kinds) is that you can specify what you could call "Alt text" which appears as tooltips when you mouse over them. When you define the button in the Button panel in CS4 or CS5, go to the flyout menu in the Button panel and select PDF Options. There is a Description field there which creates the text for a tooltip. So if the button is used to trigger a sound, for example, you could have the Description read "Double-click to Play". You'll see that text in the tooltip.

Hover text/Mouseover help

I have InDesign CS2. Most of my experience is in newspaper layout and such.
I have been tasked to produce a product that will comsist of a interactive map of sorts in a PDF format
Brief explination:
The map will consist of about 80 locations (marked with a small circle and the city name) with contact information for particular individulas.
My plan was to have a mouseover/hover text pop up containing the contact information when the mouse is over the circle/city name.
If anyone could help me figure this out it would save me an immense amount of time.
I also have Photoshop CS2, if that would work better.
Thanks

I had done a couple postings on InDesignSecrets.com about creating buttons so I just posted a tutorial on creating show/hide buttons which should answer your question:
