Datatable header tooltip

I know that datatable cell tooltips support HTML formatting but the header tooltips do not. Is there any way to acheive this?

Webix doesn’t provide its own tooltip for the datatable header, you can only use any html/CSS tooltip:

I’m having a really difficult time trying to get the CSS3 tooltip in front of other Webix components. As you’ll see in this example. https://snippet.webix.com/ahrblf1m

Hello @twigz ,
The point is that webix components have overflow:hidden property.
Unfortunately, it is a necessary requirement, so it is assumed that a CSS tooltip will stay within the borders of the component.
As a solution from our side, we can suggest you use the webix tooltip.
As a component, it can be shown on any condition, so you can assign it to the header as follows: https://snippet.webix.com/ux1ye9gz

This header tooltip is a bit cumbersome… any plans for Webix to provide native support for header tooltips?

Hello @dandv ,

In most cases, native tooltip works fine enough

So no, we don’t plan to do it

It’s possible to use:

  • native browser tooltips, which are easy for using

  • custom tooltip, which is more difficult to use, but it’s rarely needed

So no, we don’t plan to do it

I’m glad you guys did it after all :slight_smile:
