Button Tool tips not appearing in AJAX

Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:54:40 GMT

Hi All,

I have few buttons on my dashboard. The tool-tips of these buttons does not show up on the access point in AJAX mode on mouse hover or mouse click. Show Caption is not selected for these buttons. If I select show caption, a question mark appears on top making buttons look ugly. But, when the mouse is hovered on the '?' mark tool tip is displayed.

Is there a way to show tool tips without enabling show caption option for buttons.

I'm working with Qlikview 11.

It may not be available for the ajax client. I use 10 SR 6 and it doesn't seem to work in it.

Does it mean that button tool tips are not supported in AJAX?

I finally figured out a work around. I created text box with same size and position of button. Added text box as top layer on the button and made the text box transparent. I added actions from buttons to text box and set the tool tips on text box.

In this way user is now able to see tool tips on when mouse is hovered on buttons ( actually, mouse is hovered on transparent text boxes).

I understand this may not be the optimal way of doing. But, I had to take this route as my UI was in final stage and I didn't wanted to mess around replacing buttons with images/text boxes due to time constraints.
