[jira] Commented: (PIVOT-512) Add support for line item tooltips in
data-driven components

Chris Bartlett commented on PIVOT-512:
--------------------------------------
It might be worth considering a different tooltip strategy for these components.
Currently the tooltip will display after X milliseconds and disappear once the mouse/cursor is moved.
Perhaps the tooltip value should change as the mouse moves, but the tootlip itself should remain visible until the cursor exits the bounds of the component (or button press etc). This will allow verbose item based tooltip data to be viewed quickly and easily without waiting for tooltips to repeatedly show & hide.

Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-512:
----------------------------------
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant the toString(Object) method of the renderer. This method is used to convert items to a string representation (i.e. it "renders" the item as text). It is currently used to facilitate keyboard navigation (e.g. by jumping to the first item beginning with a given letter) but also seems like a natural fit here.
I think adding some sort of conversion interface would simply muddy the API, since converting items to strings is the primary purpose of the existing toString(Object) method. If you are using someone else's renderer, why not just extend it and override that method? Seems easy enough.

[jira] Resolved: (PIVOT-512) Add support for line item tooltips in
data-driven components
Posted by "Greg Brown (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Greg Brown resolved PIVOT-512.
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0
(was: 2.1)
Resolution: Fixed
Component now fires a tooltipTriggered() event that application developers can use to invoke custom tooltips. See the following for an example:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pivot/trunk/examples/src/org/apache/pivot/examples/tooltips/

------------------------------------
I find toString() tricky to use because it's not always possible to override the renderer's method, particularly if you're using someone else's renderer.
I would prefer if we used some kind of function object to convert data items to strings for use in the tooltips.

------------------------------------
Aaah, I seem what you mean. Yes, that does sound better.
However, I still think we're going to need a way of generating tooltip text that is separate from toString(Object), even if it falls back to toString(Object) in the default case.
My tooltips are frequently quite a lot more verbose than the items that they are associated with.
