[How to] SWT -> Listeners for MenuItem [message #456352]

I would like to display a text in a status bar when the mouse cursor is over
a menu item of a menu bar (for example the classic menu "&File" of a bar
menu). I am not satisfied with the arm listener: the user must click onto
the menu item to generate the event. The Menu listener added to the menu
associated with the menu item neither answers the question as it's still
necessary to click the menuitem.
The menu item is displayed in 3D when the mouse cursor is over the menu
item. Which object is responsible for the displaying? Which event is
treated?

Thanks a lot for your help

See

I'm not sure what you mean "the user must click onto the menu to generate
the event". Do we have a bug?

I don't know weither it is a bug or not. I thought the SWT.Arm event was
sent when the mouse cursor was over the menu item. The mechanism doesn't
seem to be so. So I don't know which listener I must add neither which
object will be the right one to listen.
Have you any idea?
Thanks a lot.

Yes, it will be sent when the item is armed. Does the snippet WORKFORYOU?

Thanks Steve to answer.

No the snippet doesn't. I must click on the menu item "File" do see the text
in the status line.
That I want is to see the text of the items of the menu bar as soon as the
mouse cursor is over them, without clicking.
I am using Eclipse 3.0.2 under Windows XP
I have tried a lot of things. Do you have any solution?

I believe there was a bug fixed for 3.0. Can you upgrade?

Sorry Steve, the comportment is the same with eclipse 3.1RC1 and Windows XP.
In fact the text is well displayed in the status line for each item of the
menu bar after you have clicked once on one of them.
But there is no need to click in the menu bar to see its items displayed in
3D when the mouse cursor is over them.
Which event is trapped to do that? who is the receiver?
Thanks a lot
