dimesv

Dear ArcGIS API Flex Team,

How can I change the default DrawTool tooltip?
For instance, for extent is: "press down to start and let go to finish" ...

Thanks advanced,

José Sousa

Is this now possible with the 3.5 API...?

No, but it (the ability to customize map tips when using the Draw tool) will be part of our upcoming 3.6 release in December.

Is this now possible with the 3.5 API, other then the solution suggested by kanthsrkesri?

Just like rscheitlin says we are using the DrawTools for a custom selection in the map, and the default tooltip text does not describe at all what they are really used for.

Thanks

We can change DrawTool tooltip as per our requirement(Replacing default tooltip).I finished this as follows,
step 1: set property showDrawTips = "false" for u r DrawTool.
step 2: Handle the following method on mouseMove event of esrp Map.
          private var myToolTip:ToolTip;
         protected function showCursorToolTip(event:MouseEvent):void
{

if(myToolTip==null)
{
      myToolTip = ToolTipManager.createToolTip("<Your custom tool tip>", stage.mouseX, stage.mouseY) as ToolTip;
}
if(myToolTip !=null)
{
   if(stage != null)
   {
    myToolTip.x=stage.mouseX;
    myToolTip.y=stage.mouseY;
   }
}

}

step 3: destroy this tool tip where ever u want(Usually we can destroy on DrawTool end handler).
           like as follows.
           ToolTipManager.destroyToolTip(myToolTip);
    myToolTip=null;

I hope this helps to guys.

Thanks for that, that works fine.

I was wondering if there were any events in the drawTool (can't see any) to monitor the polyline as it is being moved around. So I can start a custom tooltip when the drawing starts and apply some maths to get the length of the line (just in pixels for now) so It will show as the line is being dragged about?

Thanks again

@Robert, we have this as an enhancement request. Not sure yet if it's going to make it in to version 2.2 or not.

Any news on this?

Would it be possible to override this if not?

BjornSvensson

I would like to see the tooltip customizable for more than just internationalization. I would like to add different text based on my custom action I am using the drawtool for.

Sorry. I solved that problem changing the FlexViwer 2.1 core. 😉

Hi there,

I can't find into the API where I could change that message.

Could you show me?

Is it so that you can translate them?
We are planning to provide localization kits/instructions for the API.
