Hi  
I have a datagrid that contains a list of users. I want to open a tooltip and display data about these users while the user hovers over a row with the mouse cursor.

I found the itemRollOver event, but I can’t get the item itself.

My attempts were using the event.rowIndex to get the right user, but the datagrid doesn’t act like an array.

I only managed displaying the info by selecting an item and then call it with the dataGrid.selectedItem field.

Is there a way to get the item without selecting it?

Thanks…
