Tooltip for text / titles / headers in iReports - jasper-reports

I am trying to have a tooltip text on mouseover on Column Header or any type of text field in Jasper iReports.
I found a similar question which was not properly answered so i have to re-open it...
What i essentially need, is to show descriptive information of a column when user hovers his mouse pointer over the report in Jasper Server.

You can use hyperlinkTooltipExpression expression for textField element, for example.
You can find sample here.
In iReport you can call dialog for setting tooltip with help of context menu Hyperlink.

Microsoft Word: Adding ScreenTip changes text to {Hyperlink\| BookmarkName \o"screentip}, but want original text

Microsoft word fails to add hyperlink over bookmark and show Hyperlink text everytime
I select the text.
Then i add bookmark from Insert -> link -> add
Then when i add Link (ctrl+K) and go to insert document and screentip by clicking bookmark
It just show this text instead of original text.
Can anyone suggest what the issue is actually?
I think this is off-topic but you have more experience here than I do.
Press Alt+F9 to toggle display of field codes / results.
On some computers, this is Fn+Alt+F9. On Macs, use Opt instead of Alt.
The original text does not appear in the field code but is there and will show up in the document.
I originally missed your real question and the mistaken answer follows below.
This has nothing to do with the presence or absence of the bookmark.
This is the ordinary behavior of the Hyperlink and the AutoText fields in Word. The text displayed in the document does not appear when you display the field.
This is examined in my article on the Microsoft site about Pop-Up text in Word.
Here is the field insertion dialog box:
Here is what it looks like in the document:
And here is the field code shown using Alt+F9:
Note that the display text is not shown at all in the field code. It is still there. If you select the field and enter the following in the Immediate Window of the vba editor you will see the display text.
? Selection.Fields(1).Result
I suspect this comes from the origination of these two fields. With the hyperlink field, it is often created using selected text. It does not especially make sense, but it is how the field operates.

PDF - combo box values change another field values

I have a PDF form created. One of the fields is a combo box with 3 values. Based on the selection of these values in the combo box, I would like to change the value of another combo box or text field.
Combo box values =
Professional
Amateur
Novice
Results change the "other field"(which is going to be the title of the page)=
This is the professional cover sheet
This is the amateur cover sheet
This is the novice cover sheet
So to recap. If I choose professional from the combo box, I want the text in the other field to change to "This is the professional cover sheet". This text can either be in a text field or combo box or whatever you tell me will work. This field is going to be placed as the title of the page.
This one is even better, gives more options/complexity.

sometimes DataGrid claims focus when loading

I've a text box to enter a search string.
After typing a character, after 200 ms, a call to reload the DataGrid is done. The DataGrid has several columns with hyperlinks in the first column.
Sometimes when typing characters in the search text box, the DataGrid claims the focus and the first hyperlink is focused.
Is this some known bug or is there any way to debug/detect which part of the code is actually claiming the focus on the DataGrid?
Is it possible to install a hook somewhere to see the actual stacktrace when the focus event appears?
Thank you!

Subreport needs persistent legend text

I am using Crystal Reports XI and trying to create a text box that would be displayed on every page of my multi-paged subreport. The text box exists on either the left or right hand side of the resulting pages. Right now, I am only able to display the text box once and only because the text box is placed on the main report. I tried to place the text box on a possible "page" section of the subreport but was not able to find such section.
Appreciate whatever suggestions you have. Thank you all! Sincerely,
You can place a repeating text box in the page header or page footer section that will print on every page.
That is the most reliable way to guarantee it showing on each page. The real question is: What kind of information are you wanting to display? If it is dynamic information that changes with the data on each page, the solution is much more complicated. If you are showing a static item, like a disclaimer, then the solution provided should be sufficient.
If you need more specific help, please provide more information regarding type of content and what you have or haven't tried. This will keep people from wasting time on solutions you know don't work...
Hi Create a formula #Group like below and apply group on this.And place the textbox on group header.
