Complex tooltips on diagram shapes?

[Alan]

As far as I can see (http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/drawing/tooltip-options#fields-content) I can only really provide a text string to the .drawingElement.options.tooltip (or a function that returns a text string). If the string is a uri then the tooltip actually tuns into a iFrame with whatever content you want as delivered by the uri.

What I would like to do is to be able to use a function that returns a DOM element (a div containing data laid out in a non trivial way). Can this be done? if so how? If not do I have any other choice than to use the uri and iFrame mechamism?

Also: is there any documentation anywhere that describes the properties and methods (if any) associated with the parameter that is passed to 'function' version of the tooltip content?

 

Regards

Hello Alan,

The function that you assign to the tooltip content property can also return HTML. You can see in this Dojo a Diagram with tooltips colored in red, using HTML with inline styles:

Thanks - that's just what I wanted - but is there anything that describes the parameter? (arg in the example)

Hello Alan,

I used this parameter just to check what was passed to the template function, but didn't use any of the arguments. They point to the hovered Shape object (arg.target) and the SVG element representing it (arg.element).
