Tooltip component?

[whisperstorm]

I dont see something like this yet in the 2.0 components, so I thought I might teach myself more about lzx by trying to do the "right thing" and creating a new component derived from some base component. Antun, et. al. where should I start? Which base component would be the best one to use to create a tooltip widget?

To create a tooltip, I would extend basecomponent. From that you will be able to have it use styles (by defining an _applystyle method). You will want to set focusable=false.

If I were creating a tooltip, I would likely do something like this:

<button>
<tooltop text="info text"/>
</button>

Then have it create a delegate for its parents onmouseover and onmouseout events, and then start a timer onmouseover that would show the tooltip if the onmouseout event hadn't happened already.
