 |
|
Hi,
in my component I want to display dynamic tooltips, i.e. a different tooltip
is displayed each time you hover over the component.
I overrode createToolTip() with the following method but the String "TEST"
is never displayed...instead it always shows "HALLO" although the method
createToolTip() is called (I tested with the debugger).
class myComp() extends JComponent
{
public myComp()
{
setToolTipText("HALLO!");
}
public JToolTip createToolTip()
{
JToolTip toolTip = super.createToolTip();
toolTip.setTipText("TEST...");
return toolTip;
}
}
Any hints?

Hallo,

The ToolTipManager (naturally) calls setTipText again with the value of
your component's getToolTipText.

It worked. But what is createToolTip() good for anyway if you don't need to
override it?
When considering the help docs they say that overriding this method is the
correct way to display "your own tooltip".
