ToolTip

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'.

Events

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

Example

To change the text of the hover message at runtime, do the following:
