I am using Tooltip component from MUI in my customized TooltipComponent. TooltipComponent works similar to Dialog: user can see some content pop up after clicking (not hovering) on element (div with a text "CLICK" in my case). This content pop up consists of some text and an "x" icon, by clicking "x" icon it’s possible to close tooltip. I added two events: onClick and onKeyPress, they both do the same thing – open popup content.
For accessibility needs, when pop up content is open I have a requirement to set a focus on "x" icon. I’m doing it in React by using ref. I succeded to do it with onKeyPress event, and I expected that the same code works fine for onClick event, but it’s not works. Not only I cannot set a focus after firing onClick, but for some reason the pop-up window opens and closes immediately without my intervention (according to the logic of the code, the pop-up window can be closed only after pressing “x”)
Why the same code works perfect for onKeyPress and not works for onClick? And how resolve this problem for onClick?
I appreciate any help.
Here’s the code of my custom TooltipComponent:
import React, { useEffect, useRef, useState } from 'react';
import {Tooltip, ClickAwayListener} from '@mui/material';
function TooltipComponent() {
const [open, setOpen] = useState(false);
const toggleTooltip = () => setOpen(!open);
const closeTooltip = () => setOpen(false);
const myDivRef = useRef(null);
useEffect(() => {
if (myDivRef.current) {
if(open){
myDivRef.current.focus();
}
}}, [open]);
const BodyWrapper = (
<ClickAwayListener onClickAway={closeTooltip}>
<div style={{ position: 'relative' }}>
<div
tabIndex={0}
ref={myDivRef}
onClick={closeTooltip}
onKeyPress={closeTooltip}
aria-description="close icon"
style={{
position: 'absolute',
left: '-3px',
top: '-3px',
fontSize: '36px',
fontWeight: 'light',
cursor: 'pointer',
}}
>
x
</div>
<div aria-description="tooltip content">
<div style={{ padding: '24px', color: 'black' }}>
Top - Start -{' '}
<div>
<a href="#">I am a link</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</ClickAwayListener> );
return (
<Tooltip
title={BodyWrapper}
arrow
disableHoverListener={true}
tabIndex={0}
open={open}
placement="bottom"
onClose={closeTooltip}
PopperProps={{
disablePortal: true,
role: 'dialog',
'aria-live': 'polite',
}}
>
<div
onClick={toggleTooltip}
onKeyPress={toggleTooltip}
style={{
display: 'inline-block',
textAlign: 'center',
cursor: 'pointer',
}}
>
<div style={{ margin: '6px', color: 'black' }}>
CLICK
</div>
</div>
</Tooltip> ); }
export default TooltipComponent;

Your function works but since you are clicking "X" on top of tooltip, which has another onClick on itself, event bubbles. Both onClick functions work and your tooltip re-opens. Try this:

Try to use Tooltop with a button element, not with a Div element with onClick property. Can also use can you ref property check whether button key events.
