How to make TextHover sticky? [message #1768622]

Hi,

I got a text hover which should display some info which is in HTML format. SourceViewerConfiguration returns an IInformationControlCreator which returns a BrowserInformationControl (overwrites getInformationControlCreator(...) ).

The text hover is displayed correctly but sometimes there is too much content. I would like the functionality which the Java Editor has: when a text hover is displayed the user can press F2 so it won't fade away when the mouse is moved to/from the hover window and the user can scroll inside the text hover window to see the full content.

Which classes or interface are involved in this F2/sticky functionality?

Thanx in advance.

Mihael
