Need your opinion and input.

I am trying to show tooltips

a) not only for icons

b) with more text

For that I am thinking of redefinition of standard ALV class(es).

Any idea how to do that and where to do the redefinitions?

Thanks

Michael

You mean the SAP GUI Grid control? You can hack the ABAP code as long as you want, but I think that the GUI control natively permits tooltips only for icons and columns and with a limited length, so it will just be a waste of time... Better try with ALV for WebDynpro or UI5...

I am searching for the part in coding where the tooltip is created...

I searched directly in CL_GUI_ALV_GRID and CL_GUI_ALV_GRID_BASE, I couldn't find anything. I guess it's transmitted as a text (e.g.: @ icon_ID [ \Q tooltip ] @ [ text_on_right ] ) directly to the GUI control and it's interpreted there...
