If you see my example component I am working off of the List. I couldn't tell 100% what component you were using. There is a way to add this functionality, it takes some programming though ;) I would extend the component, and have a popup positioned to show the value. If the thumb's position changes, watch for the move event and and move the popup connected to the thumb. Done. Tony,

They want the user to see the value of the slider below the slider thumb at all times. I would just use a colored text box, but it has to be aligned with the thumb and move with it like the datatip. Any code snippets would be appreciated Thanks Tony It’s the golden rule – “the client is always right”. They want the user to see the value of the slider below the slider thumb at all times.

Seems to me that you should change the actual renderer if you are wanting to show more/less/custom data when the user doesn't interact with the renderer. @tony, why would you want to show all data tips for a list even when the mouse isn’t over the itemrenderer?
