Draw Tools tool tips

JonathanKressin — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 13:46:05 GMT

I am receiving some complaints that the default tool-tips associated with the draw tools are not clear/intuitive enough. Looking at the API, there doesn't appear to be a setting to change those tool-tips other then disabling them. Is there some other way to change the text?

Thanks!
Jonathan

You can use the esri.bundle.toolbars to change the tooltips for the different type of draw tasks. Here is one link that shows all the different options for the esri.bundle setting. It is kinda hidden and hard to find I actually had to google it to find a help doc on this topic:

http://222.161.18.222:8080/arcgis_js_api/sdk/help/jshelp/inside_bundle.html

esri.bundle.toolbars.draw.freehand = "Draw a rectangle to select features";

Don't foget to reset the strings back if you are using custom text for specific tools

Cool! I would never have found that. Thanks for the help, this should do the trick.
