Hello,
I am using GridColumnLabelProvider to put a image in one of the columns of
my grid view. But am not able to put (return) a tooltip text for the
image. I tried with getTooltipText but no use. Is there any API to put the
tooltip for images?
Thanks,
BG

You're right Tom. I only meant that the viewer work doesn't use the
built-in cell tooltip support in Grid. That wouldn't be very difficult
to do by modifying GridColumnLabelProvider. Anyway, the existing
support should be more than sufficient.

Grid does have the ability to show cell specific tooltips but I don't
believe that functionality is in the viewer. You should be able to call
GridItem.setToolTipText(index,String) in your GCLP.update(ViewerCell)
method.

Hi,
are there no hover-events generated by the Grid when one moves the
mouse. The ToolTip support build into ever viewer inheriting from JFace
listens to those events and opens a SWT-Shell to present the ToolTip
which could be very fancy.
If this is not working for Grid like it does for SWT I think we need a
bug with a snippet and track the problem down.

Hi,
for me tooltips simply work as designed (I've tested on OS-X) only
please take a look at the nebula-snippets available in CVS (Snippet5 is
holds the code).
I suppose you simply forgot to add this line to your Viewer-Setup :-)
-----8<-----
ColumnViewerToolTipSupport.enableFor(v,ToolTip.NO_RECREATE);
-----8<-----
which is required to get ToolTips working for ColumnViewer and it's
friends :-)
We should try to port more JFace-Snippets and make a dedicated wiki page
(any volunteers :-) most of the time the only task is to copy the
existing JFace-Snippet and replace the Table/TreeViewer for their grid
counter parts.
