Hi,
Quick version:
I can't find a way of setting tooltips in the
Properties View, can it be done?
Full version:
Using the Properties Viewer, my app is setting Property
names to values that are easily read by the user, for
example...
A property with the full title
"http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/firstName" might (through an indirection
process) be displayed as "First Name".
I've found a few threads which comment that tooltips in certain views
are provided "for free" e.g. in cases where a long text item is
truncated and the full item appears in the tooltip - however, in this
case the application is already doing the "truncating", so I'm looking
for some way of having the app pass the full title for use as a tooltip.
Originally I was looking for some kind of IToolTipSource interface, but
having not found anything, I wonder if the list has any ideas of how to
explicitly set tooltips in the properties view?
Cheers
Rich
