How to add tooltips to decorators? [message #161728]

Hi!

I have implemented IDecorator successfully which adds small
icons to the nodes in my diagrams.

I want to add tooltips to these icons!

How do I do this?

Cheers,
Nicolai

Hi Nicolai,

do you have validation decorators enabled? Then
XxxValidationDecoratorProvider is the right place to see how it works.

It's done like the following (inside AbstractDecorator#refresh):

org.eclipse.draw2d.Label label = new Label("tool tip");
getDecoration().setToolTip(label);
