turning off the Draw tool tooltip

TobinCrain

I know I can change the tooltip for a drawing tool by using something like this:

esri.bundle.toolbars.draw.addPoint = "Click to add point";

However, how can I turn off this functionality so that nothing is displayed as the user moves around on the map while adding a point?

Thanks,
Tobin

You can specify showTooltips: false for the draw toolbar options both during NEW and when activating a tool.

new Draw(map,options)

Thanks to you too Mark. Not only did I miss it in the Help once, but twice. Must be a Monday!!

Thanks again to both of you for your help.

As Diana said, you can also do this when activating any given tool.

activate(geometryType,options?)

That options object is configured in the same way as when creating a new Draw Toolbar, and has a showTooltips option that can be set to false.

Thanks Diana. I appreciate your help. Is there a way to turn off the tooltips for an individual tool, rather than for the entire toolbar?
