The AdvancedDataGridColumn has a property showDataTips. If this is set to true then each cell in the AdvancedDataGridColumn will show a toolTip on rollOver. There is just one problem, the toolTip covers the entire cell.

This is a problem, because the cell has a custom contextMenu. Right clicking the toolTip will bring up the default menu. Is there a way to click through the toolTip or provide a yOffset so that the tooltip appears below the cell?

  • I was also facing the same issue and didn't finded any solution. so i tried this and it's working really fine for me. :) (http://blogs.adobe.com/jgarnett/2011/04/04/displaying-extremely-large-strings-in-a-flex-datagridcolumn/) i was doing this for displaying lengthy comments in datagrid. – Imran Haider Mar 20 '13 at 13:25
  • Here's how you position your custom tooltip: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf60d65-7ff6.html#WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf60d65-7fef – ethrbunny Mar 20 '13 at 14:18
  • @ethrbunny The tooltip for the AdvancedDataGrid defaults to fill the cell. I cannot attach an `ROLL_OVER`/`ROLL_OUT` listener to an AdvancedDataGridColumn. I do not want to add the listener to the whole grid, because only certain columns should display the custom tooltip. – Mr. Polywhirl Mar 20 '13 at 15:24
  • Right. You need to define a custom one and attach it to the whole thing. Then filter which to show custom and which to show default in the handler. – ethrbunny Mar 20 '13 at 15:45
