Description/tooltip when hovering over items?

[kyle-wannacott]

How would you recommend doing a description box when hovering over an item?

Control nodes have a tooltip, so could use that for items in ItemSlots, however it seems very limited (like I don't think you can color text differently in it). I think I would prefer something a bit more customizable.

Is there a way to get whether you are hovering over an item in the InventoryGrid? (and ItemSlot?) (I can't see anything related to this in the docs)?

I guess if there was a signal that emitted when someone was hovering over an item (which told you what item it is); then I could build a custom description box for it and place it near the cursor. (probably also needs signal when exit the hover)

Any ideas, or comments?

Like for example description when hovering over an item in Diablo 2:

You mean something like the item_mouse_entered and item_mouse_exited signals in CtrlInventoryGrid? :)

It was working for me in a previous release. Although I think it may have broken?, as I was trying to get it working last night and no signals were being emitted. I thought it was because I refactored my code into a separate file and broke it somehow. @Rickyfs However; you making this comment makes me think it might be a regression in Gloot ? @peter-kish

Must be some sort of regression 😬 I'll take a look...

[peter-kish]

It was a bug introduced during some refactoring. Should be fixed now in 2db328e.

Nice one!, It might be prudent to check the other signals on CtrlInventoryGrid as well; I don't think they are working either...

[peter-kish]

Right, I completely missed those. 332d442 should cover it.
Issues like this make me think about writing tests for the UI classes too.
