Radio buttons don't display tooltips when part of a Gallery in DisplayMode.View

I have an app I built where I have a Gallery that includes data type where a radio button is used to display it. If I set the DisplayMode to Edit, the tooltips on the radio button work as expected. If I set it to View, the tooltips don't work. This is not an issue with radio buttons in View mode on Forms, only when they are included in a view-only Gallery control. I'm sure I "could" hack this with a label instead, but figured I'd report a bug before I resort to reworking this.

Attaching screenshots. "ACT" is short for "Active". I use "ACT" as the "true" property of the radio buton to save screen real estate.

In view mode

In edit mode

Hi @pmcgurn01 ,

I've made a similar test and found that what you mentioned is right.

When the gallery is edit mode, the toggle's tooltips will display.

When the gallery is view mode, the toggle's tooltps will not display.

I also tried edit form.

When the form is edit mode, the toggle's tooltips will display.

When the form is view mode, the toggle's tooltps will not display.

So I've searched this property and found that:

Tooltip – Explanatory text that appears when the user hovers over a control.

It means that the tooltips will display next to the control.

Please notice that the tooltips display next to the control , not the value.

However, when the gallery's mode change to view, the toogle's button disappear, it will just show the value like a text.

As alternative way, I suggest you not set the gallery's mode to view, set it to edit.

Set the toggle's mode to Disabled.

In this way, the toogle button will not disappear, so the tooltips will display and others could not edit too.

Best regards,

I didn't like the look of the Disabled view state, so I ended up converting this to a Label instead, and setting the Color and Tooltip properties based on ThisItem.Fieldname instead.
