Is there any way to add tooltips to a FXTable? I''d especially like to have a tooltip on the row and column headers. Thanks, Jason This message and any enclosures are intended only for the addressee.

My FXTable appears to support tooltips because when I mouse over a column or row header it pops up the same text in the header itself. How do I set this text to my own custom value? I don''t see any methods for it and using "Header Text\tTip Text" as the header value doesn''t seem to work. Thanks, Jason This message and any enclosures are intended only for the addressee.

I assume that by now you''ve see Jeroen''s answer to Ryan''s question on the FOX Users'' Mailing List, here: http://tinyurl.com/35qrm3 Hope this helps, Lyle
So it sounds like I have to wait until 1.7 is released. What is your release procedure with respect to FOX releases?

At some point after that---usually within a month or so---I''ll release FXRuby 1.8.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! I found it also works
for FXTabItems in a FXTabBook. My code looks like this:
tab = FXTabItem.new(@tabbook, "&#{name}", nil)
tab.connect(SEL_QUERY_TIP, method(:onTableTabMouseover))
...
def onTableTabMouseover(sender, sel, ptr)
sender.text = my_tab_text
End
It looks like to me you can connect a method to SEL_QUERY_TIP on just
about anything to override the tool tip text.

There''s not a convenient way to do this in FXRuby 1.6, but I just tried
this and it seems to work:
# Override default tooltips for the column header
table.columnHeader.connect(SEL_QUERY_TIP) do |sender, sel, ptr|
x, y, btns = table.columnHeader.getCursorPosition()
index = table.columnHeader.getItemAt(x)
if index >= 0 && index < table.columnHeader.numItems
sender.text = "tooltip text for item #{index}"
end
end
If you''re doing it for the row header, be sure to call getItemAt(y)
instead of getItemAt(x). Per Jeroen, this should be much more
straightforward in FOX and FXRuby 1.8.
Hope this helps,
Lyle
