tooltips with html code? [message #466395]

Hi,

I know that swing supports tooltips with html code, but how about swt?
How I can make tooltips that have html format support? I checked out the
HoverHelp example, what shows one way to make custom tooltips, but it
didn't have html formatting either..

Is it possible to do same kind of tooltips that eclipse has in it's
texteditor when showing JavaDoc info? The one that can be focused by
pressing F2 etc..?

Thanks for any help!

To have html links you can use the SWT Link widget in your custom tooltip.

Or create an InformationPresenter which uses the Browser control.
