Hello,

I am using GridColumnLabelProvider to put a image in one of the columns of
my grid view. But am not able to put (return) a tooltip text for the
image. I tried with getTooltipText but no use. Is there any API to put the
tooltip for images?

Thanks,
BG

Grid does have the ability to show cell specific tooltips but I don't
believe that functionality is in the viewer. You should be able to call
GridItem.setToolTipText(index,String) in your GCLP.update(ViewerCell)
method.

Hi,

are there no hover-events generated by the Grid when one moves the
mouse. The ToolTip support build into ever viewer inheriting from JFace
listens to those events and opens a SWT-Shell to present the ToolTip
which could be very fancy.

If this is not working for Grid like it does for SWT I think we need a
bug with a snippet and track the problem down.

Hi,

for me tooltips simply work as designed (I've tested on OS-X) only
please take a look at the nebula-snippets available in CVS (Snippet5 is
holds the code).

I suppose you simply forgot to add this line to your Viewer-Setup :-)

-----8<-----
ColumnViewerToolTipSupport.enableFor(v,ToolTip.NO_RECREATE);
-----8<-----

which is required to get ToolTips working for ColumnViewer and it's
friends :-)

We should try to port more JFace-Snippets and make a dedicated wiki page
(any volunteers :-) most of the time the only task is to copy the
existing JFace-Snippet and replace the Table/TreeViewer for their grid
counter parts.

You're right Tom. I only meant that the viewer work doesn't use the
built-in cell tooltip support in Grid. That wouldn't be very difficult
to do by modifying GridColumnLabelProvider. Anyway, the existing
support should be more than sufficient.
