tooltip when readonly

[walter_schnell]

Hello,

I am using LCD 8.2

I have a text input field with a tooltip. When I set the field to readonly (either in Designer or in the field's initialize event), the tooltip does not appear any more. Can this be circumvented somehow?

Nope ....the tooltip will only appear on interactive fields .....once you make it readOnly it is no longer interactive.

Hi Paul,

I know I can put

  xfa.event.change = this.rawValue;

into the change event instead of setting the field to readonly, thereby preventing any changes.

Still wondering what that restriction on the tooltips is good for ...

Hi Walter,

  I was struggling on displaying tooltip for readonly field. I'm not sure whether we still got any straight forward solution from Adobe on this.

Your solution using xfa.event.change helped me a lot.

Thanks a ton,
