Setting ToolTip for sap.m.Button

[stefan_heitzer]

Hi everybody,

does anybody of you know whether it is possible to set a tooltip for a sap.m.Button?

I know that each button has a method named "setTooltip".

What I did so far was to create something like this:

var oToolTip = new sap.ui.core.TooltipBase({

     text: "test"

});

this.getView().byId("myButton").setTooltip(

     oToolTip

);

The current problem is that each time I run the application I get a message which says that it failed to load the sap ui core TooltipBase Renderer?!

Has anybody of you already made any experience with controls of the sap.m namespace and with tooltips?

I'm really looking forward to hearing from you!!!

Greetings

Stef

This looks great, but I think it isn't working with a sap.m.Button, is it?

As far as I understand tooltip is not meant to be for sap.m

hmm so there isn't a chance to get a tooltip for sap.m?

Hi Stef,

TooltipBase is abstract class. Try intiailizing with sap.ui.commons.RichTooltip.

var oToolTip = new sap.ui.commons.RichTooltip({

      text: "test"

  });

Hey Rashmi,

thank you for your quick reply, but I also tried this and it didn't work either. When does the Tooltip's going to be openend? I mean. I have a simple button and I just want to see the tooltip for example when a hover event fires.
