Hi, > For s:DataGrid that isn't how it works. Yes it does work differently to the mx components, sorry I had incorrectly assumed it would do the same thing.

If you set a dataTipFunction data tips will show all the time as you are (generally) trying to display some extra information. That's fine. The issue is with the simplest case when you just have some text that too big to fit in a cell/row. It seems a bit odd to display datatips that are identical to what is being display in the cell (to me anyway) when the text fits. The mx components dealt with this (although in a slightly buggy way as you had to set the dataTipField to null for it to work). It's not easy to control if a dataTip shows as if the dataTipFunction returns an empty or null sting you get an (ugly) blank tooltip showing. I sure there's a way around this but it probably should not display a tool tip if there's noting to be displayed. It's easy enough to patch the above issues just wanted to get feedback on what people think the behaviour should be. Thanks, Justin
