Dear All,
I am developing a simple UI in SWT which consists of a Table with three
columns namely Model, Type and description.
The problem I face here is, if the "description" column has a text for
some two three lines, the whole description is shown as a single line in
the tooltip and it is completly unreadable.
Questions:
1. Is there anyway to wrap the tool tip text so that user see's the
complete text?
2. If the above solution is not possible, I want to implement a feature
which is available in Eclipse3.0
i,e In Eclipse editor, If the mouse cursor is over an API (say, "equals"
method of class "String"), Eclipse displays the javaDoc in a yellow window
in the Editor. If we press F2, that window gets focus and automatically
shows scrollbar also if the javadoc comment goes beyond the visible limit.
Can anyone please guide me in implementing such a feature for a SWT Table
column.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help. It works fine.
One small question. Is it possible to have Tool Tip for Table Column
header?
Example, say I have a table with three columns. I would like to show the
column name as tooltip. I don't find any API for that in SWT.
Thanks
