Grid: ToolTip and image in ColumnHeader [message #600013] Thu, 22 July 2010 09:15 Go to next message

Hello everybody,
In our grid, we use images to display vertical text in the column header.
How can I also display a ToolTip when the mouse is hovering over the header?
When no image is shown, it does work, but with image the ToolTip seems to be deactivated.

Best regards,
David

OK, got it by myself.
I extended Grid.java and overwrote handleCellHover(int int).

protected boolean handleCellHover(int x, int y)
{
boolean superResult = super.handleCellHover(x, y);

// redo some code from superMethod to display tooltips in column headers
// when images are shown
final GridColumn col = getColumn(new Point(x, y));
final GridItem item = getItem(new Point(x, y));

if ((col != null)) {
if (item == null) {
if (y < headerHeight) {
if (y >= groupHeaderHeight) {
// on col header
if ((col.getText() != null)
&& ((!col.getText().equals("")) && ((col.getColumnGroup() != null) && (!col
.getColumnGroup().getText().equals("General"))))) {
showToolTip(item, col, null, new Point(x + 15, y));
}

}
}

}
}

return superResult;
}

Hm, this way, the tooltip gets displayed immediatly, without the delay that i specified in my CellLabelProvider.
How can i get the delay also in the header?

My current solution is one timer that is started every time the mouse hovers a specified time over the same position.
After that the tooltip is shown and another timer is started. This second timer makes sure, the tooltip is deleted after a while:

getDisplay().timerExec(m_headerTooltipDelayMS, new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
        if ((m_lastMousePos_x == x) && (m_lastMousePos_y == y)) {
            showToolTip(item, col, null, new Point(x + 15, y));
            m_tooltipActive = true;
            // Make sure that the tooltip will be hidden after a specified time
            getDisplay().timerExec(m_headerTooltipPresentMS,
                new Runnable() {
                     @Override
                     public void run() {
                         // Make sure the grid has not been disposed since the call
                         if (!isDisposed()) {
                             hideToolTip();
                             m_tooltipActive = false;
                         }
                 }
             });
          }
      }
});
