Hi,

We using tooltips in our datawindows, but for translation, we need to set them with modify. When run as desktop application, this works perfect, but deployed to the powerserver, no tooltip is showed. With describe, I see the properties are set, but no tooltip is popping up. When adding the properties on the datawindow on design time, this tooltip is working well. A setredraw(true) is not helping. Does anyone have an idea to fix this(workaround)?

dw_1.modify("login_t.tooltip.enabled=true")
dw_1.modify("login_t.tooltip.tip='Please add your login'")

PB 2019 build 2170

Powerserver 2019

Best regards

As a workaround, you could maybe use global functions which you call in the tooltip.enabled, .title and .text attributes to get (or not) the values.

Not sure if it'll work, but it should.

modify on tooltip does NOT work on powerserver 2020 and below.  I have the same problem.  I may have entered a bug report on it

 

It *should* work in PS2021

Hi Danny;

  Looks like ticket #'s 1165 and 3779 may be related to your issue. They also seem to not have been addressed (as far as I can tell).

PS2020 was JavaScript based - so not all PB functionality was implemented 100%. However in PS2021 Cloud Apps use the same native PB runtime is used as a PB App EXE - thus, 99% of the PB features will work exactly the same.

Regards ... Chris

As Mike said, consider upgrading to PS 2021… nearly all PB features are now supported in the new version!
