ALV tooltip in a single cell of a row. Possible?

It is possible to put a tooltip on a single cell of my alv? I know that it is possible in a column by a field catalog, but what about single cell?

I have ALV with icon like that, which is called via cl_gui_alv_gridv

enter image description here

I want information about this item in tooltip when I hover mouse over this icon

Solution

  • The information on how to display a symbol with a tooltip is easily available if you google for "site:help.sap.com tooltip icon". Since you seem to be unable to find it, here is the actual link. Make the target field large enough (132 characters is a common size), then use the function ICON_CREATE.

    If you don't want an icon to appear, you can use ICON_SPACE. And since the tooltip is contained in the value of each cell, of course it is possible to have different tooltips for different cells.
