my overlords require tooltips on table column headers. i found a post indicating that such things are possible in the Vision world on 'Power Tables' ()
but we're exclusively Perspective, so configureCell extension is not in our toolbag. is there a way to create tooltips for Perspective tables? i half want a answer, because: cool and useful, and half want because: feature creep on already overloaded project.
for the sole sake of pleasing the overlords-who-hold-purse-strings, please be
FYI: this would just be a simple title attr in any HTML element... so if there's a way to hook into that...
Tooltips aren't available for rows/columns/cells of tables.
There are a few ways people have done it with mouseOver event and x,y positions, but I think they break down when the scroll bar is active and not at the top.
If the powers at be are wanting more description on the columns, you could implement a label somewhere that changes text and use the prop.selection property to determine the row/column that is selected to change that label.
yeah. i was digging a bit and thought i could populate the header cells with label components whose text is pulled from the column header name. feels like kind of a clunk, but also seems a relatively simple workaround. the trick will be not making the headers 400px tall... i'll tinker a bit and see if that works.

Tooltips for individual rows / columns / cells would be a really cool feature, I also often encounter situations where the content is just too big to show in a table cell. Often a short version of it is enough for the user, but then when you need the full information it needs to be available...
One possible workaround I found for showing tooltips in a table is using subviews:
