Eclipse Tooltips Style [message #457969]

Hi *,

Could you please help me with this issue. I would like to know how it
can be possible to build tooltips with formated texts. Eclipse tooltips
for instance include bold texts. How do they do that with SWT?

I know this can be done with Swing by displaying an HTML document into a
browser and using it as tooltips. The question is, how can I do
something like that with SWT.

Thank you in advance.

Klaus.

This is done by implementing your own tooltips that contain (for instance) a
StyledText or Browser. For an example of a this see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet125.java?rev=HEAD& amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup .
