[INFO REQ] Show calendar event tooltip on hover but also on tap (on mobile devices)

[lxxrxns]

Hey there!

In scheduler, you can mouseOver an event on PC to show the tooltip, but also tap on it with your finger (on mobile) to show the tooltip.

Because calendar seems to work differently (it doesn't even have a 'showOn' parameter, it just works intuitively), I can choose 'hover' or 'click'.
'Hover' works as intended on PC: I mouseOver the event, and it shows the tooltip. I mouseOut and it hides the tooltip again. However, 'hover' doesn't show the tooltip on mobile when I tap the event (since 'hovering' isn't possible on mobile).

Is there any way I can have the tooltip behave the same on mobile as it behaves in scheduler?

Thanks!

Laurens

Hey Laurens,

As you'll see in the video attached of our tooltip demo, that you can try it here https://bryntum.com/products/scheduler/docs/api/Core/widget/Tooltip

The tooltip is triggered on mobile on long press action and not tap/click.

I have the eventTooltip enabled with showOn: 'hover'. It works on PC, but on mobile it doesn't work. When I longpress the event on mobile, Chrome just selects the text on the event (even when I try to long press next to the text).

You might say: in Scheduler you have it set to show on "click", but this is not the case: on PC the tooltip shows when I hover, so this is the exact behaviour that I want:

Show tooltip on hover on PC, and show tooltip on tap on mobile.

It's possible in scheduler, how do I get it to work in calendar?

Also, setting the "showOn" to 'click' is not an option (this makes it work on mobile, but I want the hover effect on PC)

Hey, how did you configure your eventTooltip on Scheduler?? I tested in our demo page (where we have a hover tooltip enabled) and it didn't appear in the mobile on tap, could you please share how did you configure that on your Scheduler and your Calendar??

Apparently this is something that changed in one of the later versions. I am on version 4.2, and in v4.2 you can "tap" an event on mobile (in Scheduler) to show the tooltip.

Thanks for the info Laurens,

I created a ticket to check what changed and fix that behavior on our side - https://github.com/bryntum/support/issues/6125
