tony on colNames - have a name+long description shown as tooltip

Sat, 04 Dec 2010 13:25:38 +0200

Hello,

Better to do it in other place like colModel, but too much options have we here.

Also I think a better way is to do it is with jQuery.

Suppose thge grid has id = grid and the column name defined in colModel is mycol, then

$("#grid_mycol").atttr("title","text entered at creation time..");

Kind Regards

Tony

I suggest to make colNames array entry to be possible to be an array of Name+Description instead of string:

colNames: [ 'id' , 'name' , ['text', 'text entered at creation time ...'] ]

so that the column 3 is named 'text', but on mouse over the long description 'text entered at ....' would appear as a tooltip.
