How to show a tooltip on a Spark List

Question

I have a Spark List and I want to show a tool tip when over a row. In the previous List I think there was a dataTipField property but I don't see that on the Spark List.

Answer 1

If you want to show the tooltip when the data width is more than the List width then you can use inline itemrenderer for it.

<s:itemRenderer>
        <fx:Component>
            <s:ItemRenderer>
                <s:Label text="{data.Expense}"
                         width="100"
                         maxDisplayedLines="1"
                         showTruncationTip="true" />
            </s:ItemRenderer>
        </fx:Component>
    </s:itemRenderer>

Answer 2

If the label displayed in the list is different than the toolTip you want to show then you can use toolTip property of the Label in Sumit's answer as below:
