I had the problem that I wanted to show text in a DataGrid column which could be far longer then the available space. It was not important that the text is visible all the time so a custom cellrenderer was not needed and the solution very simple.
Just define DataGridColumn like:
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Text" dataField="text" dataTipField="text" showDataTips="true" />So you have to set the dataTipField to the property of the Object you render and set showDataTips true.
Thanks for the tip! Cant believe it is so simple.
BTW you typed dateTipField
Thanx
Thanks Mario, I corrected it.
Thanks for the informaion. Any way to style the DataTip? I would like to make the text larger and bolder if possible.
I did not try it out but I found an example for a Slider component: http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/11/03/customizing-a-slider-controls-data-tip/
