tooltips for listBoxField not working as intended

iandanur

Hi, I do have a listBoxField embedded in a form (created using hiCreateForm) and i am trying to add tooltips for the list elements in the listBoxField.

myForm->myListBoxField->hiTooltip=list("str1' "str2" "str3" "str4')

Now, when i hover my cursor onto the first element of a listBoxField it displays the first tooltip "str1" correctly, but from the second element onwards the same tooltip1 ("str1") is displayed till the last list element in the my listBoxField. Apparently its not updating the tooltip for the corresponding element in the listboxfield. 

What must be going wrong? I have no clue. I did try for radio widget and other widgets where tooltip works properly as intended. 

Also i see no posts on tooltip since 2008. Please help.

Cheers

    Spooky - Quek replied just as I was composing my reply having just tested this. Anyway, the documentation actually says that the value of hiToolTip can be:

    • A list of strings: list("tooltip1" "tooltip2" "tooltip3" ...)

    Specify a list of tool tips for a radio, toggle, or button-box field. 

    It doesn't say that a list can be specified for list box fields. So probably this is an enhancement request (a reasonable one though).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
