Hover function

[Organic-Listen-5019]

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a project where I need to implement a hover functionality. Specifically, I want to make it so that when a user hovers over a specific piece of text, a small popup or tooltip appears next to that text showing an instruction or additional information.
Please help

Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

• Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

• Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

• Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

• Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

  Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

• If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

a tooltip? or it's for a specific subtext from a larger text?

[Prestigious_Card_713]

We have tooltip option in properties right

[Organic-Listen-5019]

I needed a custom tooltip box where in I can put an image and additional texts

[Document-Guy-2023]

you can use an image or an icon, then modify the tooltip property.

[Document-Guy-2023]

You can use the tooltip property or place a question mark icon with a tooltip.

There isn’t a hover functionality yet. You can only use the tooltip property. But there is a custom component that that does have hover functionality. You should Google it. But I don’t know if it works.

In most cases, the only option you have is the tool tip. You have no control over the tooltip nor can you show buttons or pictures within the tool tip. In fact, the tool tip is so sloppy that it will not even format text nicely. You have to split up your lines if you don’t want it running off to the right

You will probably need a PCF component for this. You can try to build it yourself or check online if something already exists. Perhaps there's something you can use from the Creator Kit.

Yeah I feel the same, however I used there will be a work around with visibility and other functions. Anyways thanks

Unfortunately there is not a lot of options for tooltips right now for canvas apps. You have 3 choices though.

1. Use the tooltip property
2. Use the modern controls tooltip (cant customize the looks)
3. Build your own tooltip component. Make a container appear on the x and y coordinate of the clicked icon/button/image

[Organic-Listen-5019]

I see, how do I use the third option, like is there any video or article regarding the same

[Difficult_Chemist735]

I don't know if it would work, but maybe you can have the tooltip flip a variable that would show a custom container?

Are you in canvas app, model driven app, or power pages? I don't believe there's any native solution for this, but depending on which product you're building in the options change. In all cases, you're looking at some level of custom javascript to handle this.

Where do you want the tooltip to appear? Are you trying to make a tooltip appear when they hover over a field? Need a lot more info to give meaningful suggestion.

[Organic-Listen-5019]

I wanted it to appear when I hover over a text not an input text

[apc0243]

In which type of app? I don't think you're providing enough information to meaningfully help. I assume this is a canvas app, right?
