this is my code :

public str toolTip() { return strFmt("@SPL803", WHSShipmentTableUnassignedAddress.ZipCode, WHSShipmentTableUnassignedAddress.CountryRegionId); }

I tested in several ways
it's the same even with a static text, for example :

public str toolTip() { return "static text"; }

Hi DJosef!

This is standard toolTip display if you use it on form control. If your control is the field from table you may override toolTipField() method on the table and write something like this:

public str toolTipField(FieldId _fieldId) { str ret; switch (_fieldId) { case fieldNum(YourTable, YourField) : ret = "My tooltip"; break; default : ret = super(_fieldId); break; } return ret; }

and then you will get display from your first image.

Hi,

I can't remember exactly. But I think there is a problem using tooltips within controls part of a grid.

The tooltip (information shown) seems to be always generated from the current selectes record, this is not neccessarily the one under the mouse cursor.

To my opinion, you can't solve this using tooltips. Maybe there is a way using an artifical referencegroup in a really small control right or left to simulate the required information using this way.

regards

Douglas

Would your requirement be solved if you simply added a line break in your label that you use in the tooltip? Or is there a business requirement (and business value for the time you are using) to have the tooltip look 1:1 the same than the standard tooltips? You already found a way to get correct data into the tooltip.

Hmm...I've created a custom table, then added PurchId field on my table, then override toolTipField() and it works.

But! I've added a standard PurchTable table to my custom form as DS and tried to override toolTipField() on PurchTable and it's not working.
