Hi.

I have a little problem when one model is in read only mode and the user wants to see the value of a property that is cut by the length of the column "value".
That length could be modified, as I know, but that I would like to get is to show a multi-line tooltip over each value (in order to see all the value in one sight) instead the single-line that is shown by default.

Have you got any suggestion?
Do I have to try to modify Properties View provided by "org.eclipse.ui.views"? What's the better way?

Thaks in advance.
Best regards.
Carlos.

Yes you need to customize it an replace the LabelProvider through a
ColumnLabelProvider because you need to use faked JFace-Tooltips.

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFaceSnippets for examples

I have just had a look over some examples and the snnipet 020 is something like I need to.
However, I would like to know if there is some example of the tooltip that java editor shows when the user moves the mouse over some words of the code. Besides, that tooltip is resizable...
Where can I get the implementation of this tooltip in order to adapt it for the properties view?

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Carlos.
