Rendering html as tooltip [message #446893]

Hi,

Using SWT, I want to render an HTML string as a tooltip.

I have looked at the HoverHelp example that comes with Eclipse which I
understand but I cannot find an SWT widget that renders HTML.

Can anyone help ?

Thankyou

Hi Michael,

You'll need to implement fake tooltips and put Browser widgets within them.
For examples of these see:

fake tooltips:

setting html content into a Browser:
