Widget API ← GameTooltip < SetHyperlink

Syntax

SetHyperlink( itemID );


Parameters

Arguments

itemID
string - a string representing an ingame item, i.e. "item:16846:0:0:0" is the link id for the Giantstalker's Helm

Returns

unknown, probably nil
If you attempt to reference an item that is not in your local cache, i.e. you've never seen it before, or you attempt to reference a nonexistent item the game will disconnect you. Guessing at this, untested. - Edit: You will not be disconnected, it will read the data from the server cache, but the requests seems to be limited to certain number per time.

Remarks

Calling this function with the same item which is currently shown, will close the Tooltip.

Example

GameTooltip:SetHyperlink("item:16846:0:0:0");

Result

this will replace the currently showing tooltip with one containing the information for the Giantstalker Helm
