Show tooltip on disabled elements and disable tooltip in Angular Tooltip component

4 Apr 20232 minutes to read

By default, Tooltips will not be displayed on disabled elements. However, it is possible to enable this behavior by following the steps below.

1. Add a disabled element like the button element into a div whose display style is set to inline-block.
2. Set the pointer event as none for the disabled element (button) through CSS.
3. Now, initialize the Tooltip for outer div element that holds the disabled button element.

app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
    <ejs-tooltip id="tooltip" content='Tooltip from disabled element'>
        <div><input ejs-button type="button" disabled value="Disabled button" /></div>
    </ejs-tooltip>
    `,
    styles: [`
    #tooltip {
        display: inline-block;
        position: relative;
        top:50px;
        left: 40%;
    }
    #tooltip [disabled] {
        pointer-events: none;
        font-size: 22px;
        padding: 10px;
    }
    `]
})

export class AppComponent {
}

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { TooltipModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-popups';
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        TooltipModule,
        ButtonModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

main.ts

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);
