Hi -

I have a TableViewer with many columns so have used abbr for the column
header. I want a tooltip to be displayed when someone hovers over a
table column (not the table item) -

any ideas?

thanks!

Anima.

Anima,

API for doing this was added very recently, see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=4572 . Its first appearance
in a milestone build will be in 3.2M2.

Thanks a bunch!

I was trying to do this by displaying the column name in the status line
which is controlled by adding Listener -

TableColumn column = table.getColumn(0);
column.addListener(SWT.MouseHover, new Listener(){
public void handleEvent(Event e){
getViewSite().getActionBars().getStatusLineManager().setMess age(columnToolTips[0]);
}
});

But unfortunately that does not work? Is there something wrong I am
doing? Any other ideas?

thanks!

Anima.

No, that's another request, see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=17871 .

Thanks Grant once again -

So, then there is no way to display an expanded column name then, except
to use explicit mouse click ?
