Re: [cdt-dev] hoverhelp confusion
 | 
This was put back after is was mistakenly remove from a patch from 
Thomas Fletcher, if yours is a replacement
for this, then we would be interested in looking at what you have, and 
hopefully incorporate this new mechanism, did you
have any proposal/plan written up that we could look at to understand 
the big picture on this new hover help contribution.
Also, have you looked at JDT hover help mechanism, it has user 
preferences to control the type of hover info available when different
key modifiers are used, for example, holding 'ctrl' down while hovering 
will show the source code of a method, something similar could be use in 
CDT if we have multiple hover help contributors.
Thoughts?
Dave.

David,
I've been putting together a CDT C hoverhelp extension for the last 
few months and I was kicking it off though 
DefaultCEditorTextHover.getHoverInfo(), but I've just noticed that in 
the latest DefaultCEditorTextHover.java getHoverInfo() has a line:
IFunctionSummary fs = 
CCompletionContributorManager.getDefault().getFunctionInfo(expression);
right where I'd been putting
IFunctionSummary fs = 
CTextHoverContributorManager.getDefault().getFunctionInfo(expression);
Should completion stuff be called by getHoverInfo()?  If so, how does 
it distinguish between completion events (ctrl-something, I think) and 
hover events?
Thanks,
