Tooltips

To display tooltips for events, you should activate the Tooltip extension once on the page.

scheduler.plugins({
    tooltip: true
});

After that tooltips will be displayed with the default settings.

To configure tooltips, you have the following API:

Methods

hide() - hides the tooltip
show(event,text) - shows the tooltip at the browser event location with a specified content. The method takes two parameters:
- event - browser event
- text - tooltip content, will be added to innerHTML of the tooltip element

dhtmlXTooltip.hide();
dhtmlXTooltip.show(event,text);

Configuration properties

className - the name of the CSS class that will be applied to tooltips
timeout_to_display - the delay in milliseconds, before tooltip is displayed for an event (by default, 50)
timeout_to_hide - the delay in milliseconds, before the tooltip hides (by default, 50)
delta_x - the right (if positive) offset of the cursor position (by default, 15)
delta_y - the top (if positive) offset of the cursor position (by default, -20)

dhtmlXTooltip.config.className = 'dhtmlXTooltip tooltip'; 
dhtmlXTooltip.config.timeout_to_display = 50;
dhtmlXTooltip.config.timeout_to_hide = 50;
dhtmlXTooltip.config.delta_x = 15; 
dhtmlXTooltip.config.delta_y = -20;

Templates

tooltip_text - specifies the text of tooltips
tooltip_date_format - specifies the format of start and end dates displayed in the tooltip

var format = scheduler.date.date_to_str("%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"); 
scheduler.templates.tooltip_text = function(start,end,event) {
    return "<b>Event:</b> "+event.text+"<br/><b>Start date:</b> "+
    format(start)+"<br/><b>End date:</b> "+format(end);
};
