I have added a fancy tool tip provider which just provides a multiline
wrapped Text object to display the tooltip. The problem I am encountering
is that the first one or two times I hover the mouse I get the normal
tooltip and mine appearing. After that I just get mine. How do I stop the
normal ones appearing. Using Windows Vista if that makes any difference.
Borrowed the code straight out of the snipet.

private static class FancyToolTipSupport extends
ColumnViewerToolTipSupport {

protected FancyToolTipSupport(final ColumnViewer viewer, final int style,
final boolean manualActivation) {
super(viewer, style, manualActivation);
}

protected Composite createToolTipContentArea(final Event event, final
Composite parent) {
final Composite composite = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
final Text text = new Text(composite, SWT.MULTI | SWT.WRAP);
text.setText(getText(event));
text.setSize(800, 60);
return composite;
}

public boolean isHideOnMouseDown() {
return false;
}

public static final void enableFor(final ColumnViewer viewer) {
new FancyToolTipSupport(viewer, ToolTip.NO_RECREATE, false);
}
}

FancyToolTipSupport.enableFor(tableViewer);

descriptionColumn.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider() {

public String getToolTipText(final Object element) {
if (element instanceof Counter) {
final Counter counter = (Counter) element;
return counter.getQuoteItemName() + " : " +
counter.getWarningDescription(); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
return Messages.na;
}

public Point getToolTipShift(final Object object) {
return new Point(5, 5);
}

public int getToolTipDisplayDelayTime(final Object object) {
return 200;
}

public int getToolTipTimeDisplayed(final Object object) {
return 5000;
}

plus the getText etc that was there before.

Hi,

I've never tested on Windows Vista. What we are doing to disable native
tooltips is to call Table.setToolTipText("") which seems to be wrong at
least how I read the Javadoc at the moment.

On the other hand it seems to work on other controls as well as on Vista
a sometime. Maybe the problem is that the ToolTip is already shown
before we ever set the value to "". Could you try to call
setToolTipText("") yourself when you setup the control?

I'm going to see if setToolTipText("") is correct or setToolTipText(null).

Calling table.setTooltipText("") when I create the table stops the normal
tooltip from appearing. If I use setTooltipText(null) I still get the
double tooltips.

So setting to "" on creation works for me.

Hi,

Could you please file a bug so that we can do this when calling this for
your when we attach the tooltip-support.
