Description

The ToolTip control is used to display a quick message to the user. If the icon is tapped on, the message displays. The user can then dismiss it. The width of the control is defined in the properties. The height is set automatically, depending on the text to be displayed.

When using AppStudio 4 with jQuery Mobile 1.4 on old Android devices (Android OS 2.x), the built in icons will not appear. To fix this, add the following to the manifest property of your project. If your button uses theme 'b', change 'white' to 'black'.

popupmsg The message which appears when the icon is clicked. Can be formatted HTML.
tipWidth The width of the tip. Can be in pixels (100px) or a percent of screen width (50%).

Standard events are supported. However, events are not usually associated with the control.
