Hi,

I am using a JFace TableViewer in my application. I wanted to know if its
possible to provide tooltips for all the cells in the TableViewer (On
mouse hover on a cell in the selected row)

Thanks in advance for help.

Regards,
BG

Hi,

I was able to find out a solution for my requirement. The table's default
tooltip text can be overridden by the customized cell value.

So while handling the MouseHover event, a update of the table tooltiptext
can be used.

i.e : Add the following lines int the Switch Case for MouseHover

ViewerCell cell=viewer.getCell(new Point(event.x, event.y));
viewer.getTable().setToolTipText(cell.getText());


Thanks and Regards,
BG
