Selfmade ToolTip on TreeViewer [message #273451]

Hello,

I would like to implement some kind of selfmade tooltip for my elemtens in a
TreeViewer (TreeItems). We are using SWT 2.1 and are therefor not able to
use ILabelProvider#getToolTip() method which comes with SWT 3.0.

Is it possible to generate a tooltip by ourselves? I know that I could
register a MouseTrackListener on a TreeItem but where and how can I access
the the TreeItem?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Ole

Hi,

there is a code snipped for a fake tooltip on tables on
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/plat form-swt-home/dev.html#snippets

I think its exactly this one: create fake tool tips for items in a table
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/org.ecli pse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet125.jav a

Perhaps you can get some ideas out of it for a TreeViewer?

Regards,

Peter

Where is ILabelProvider#getToolTip()? I don't see it in Eclipse 3.0.1 nor
in HEAD. I'd love to have tooltips for tree items, and can use SWT 3.0 if
need be.

Thanks,

It is not in jface as there is no way of (currently) doing it in SWT.
