Yellow info shell in editor [message #1085747]

Hello,

With "Yellow info shell in the editor" I mean this one : http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/screenshot_105.png

Is this one internal or can I maybe reuse it like a Tooltip for certain controls?
Currently I am using a org.eclipse.jface.window.ToolTip to show more information. But I would like offer the user that text can be selected and copied from it by pressing the F2 key or place links in there, just like you can do it with the "yellow info shell".

Does anyone know where I can find the neccessary classes for this "yellow info shell"?

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,

You are looking at a org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.PopupDialog

Please see an example snippet here: http://javafind.appspot.com/model?id=286004

Cheers,

Wim

Hi Wim,

Thanks a lot.

Is it maybe also possible to get the whole predefined popup dialog, with the F2 focus functionality and browser in it?(just like it is shown in the on the image of my first post)
And when pressing F2 the popup gains the focus and shows a toolbar below.

Best regards,

Simon
