Increasing the duration of Tool tip

[Former Member]

Hello SDNers,

I have a problem here. One of the users has asked me to increase the tool tip visibility duration for the application I have developed. I have no idea how this can be done. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank You

Hi,

Could you please bit clear on the requirment.

The comment "to increase the tool tip visibility duration for the application " is not clear. i think he will be able to see the application upto certain time interval in his browser.

I feel, he is asking for the application life time in browser.

Hello Deepak,

The user is not asking for the lifetime of the browser to be increased. It is just that when they hover on a button, then the tool tip is displayed for a certain period of time. They want it to be displayed for some more time to read it comfortably. I wonder if this can be done.

Any valuable inputs is highly appreciated.

Thank You

Instead of this You can flash the same message in the message area as well...

Hi Avik,

In ASP.net it is possible and i got few code in the net for the same.

I have found this link for JAVA http://developers.sun.com/docs/jscreator/help/2update1/config_setup/tooltip_setting.html

Hi Avik,

the time period for dsiplaying the tool tip cannot be increased, instead u can give custom messages.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Avik,

There is no option in Webdynpro for setting the duration of Tooltip visibility. Tooltips are used to show a short description of the UI element. If you need to show long text you can either use a text view besides the UI element or have an Icon next to the UI element (linkToAction with an icon) and upon clicking the icon you can use a popup window to show the description.

From Webdynpro developer perspective We don't have any control on how the tooltip is rendered or how long it is rendered. There are certain UI elements like the Network Diagram where this can be configured but not on other UI Elements.

Thanks all for your kind answers. Even I was thinking that this cannot be done in Web Dynpro. But since one of our users had raised this issue, I was thinking if this can be achieved using some codes. Instead a work around like displaying in message area is a much simpler option.

Thanks again
