I am having a very frustrating time with setting tooltip text on a list form displaying multiple items. I managed to get everything working nicely but I cannot get it to work now at all and I cannot figure out why as I haven't made any code changes. I suspect it may be the tooltip/hint properties and the way that they are entered may have something to do with it, but it is driving me mad.
It's very simple. I am wanting to display a value when I put the mouse over the field and put this code in the post_query trigger on the data_block which produces the list
This is my code..
set_item_property('claim.claim_number',tooltip_text,:claim.policy_number);
I have tried various permutations in the property palette such as setting the hint to 'Y', setting an initial value in the tooltip itself.. but it always displays the value for the last item retrieved on the list, no matter which line I have the mouse on.
I have searched the forum for tooltip_text issues, but I don't believe the solutions given will work. (by the way I am on 10g)
Any more ideas?

Is the List value fetched from static or u use create_group_from query.
any how u can check for the datatype.since tool_tip accepts char.
and what is the datatype of policy number.

Thanks, David..
especially for not telling me the nasty solution! For the moment I've settled on using when_new_item_instance for my tooltip'd field, so that works OK.
cheers
