tooltip for alv_tree elements

[Former Member]

Hello,

i'm using the method:

data: tree type ref to cl_gui_alv_tree,

new_key type lvc_nkey,

l_node_text type lvc_value,

ls_node_layout type lvc_s_layn,

lt_item_layout type lvc_t_layi.

call method tree->add_node

exporting

i_relat_node_key = p_tree_key

i_relationship = cl_gui_column_tree=>relat_last_child

is_outtab_line = p_line

is_node_layout = ls_node_layout

it_item_layout = lt_item_layout

i_node_text = l_node_text

importing

e_new_node_key = new_key.

Now, i want to display an icon instead of text.

include <icons>.

data ok_icon like icons value icon_checked.

lt_item_layout-t_image = ok_icon.

working fine, the problem is, now i'm getting the standard tooltip from the icon, but i want to get my own description. Does anyone know how i cant overwrite the standard tooltip.

Hello Marek

The is a simple trick to get your own tooltip. This trick works for others controls (e.g. ALV grid), too. The icon ICON_CHECKED has '@01@' as internal representation. Thus, simply define your icon as:

  ls_item_layout-t_image = '@01Q My own Tooltip! @'.

In general the logic is:

  '@<2-digit code>Q <own tooltip text> @'

Leave a <b>space</b> between the tooltip text and the preceeding Q and the succeeding @ character. I did not check but believe the length of the tooltip text is limited to about 30 characters.

You must use the ICON_CREATE for this purpose.
