<h2>Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) Standalone Example - Hover Help</h2> | |
<h3>Introduction</h3> | |
<p>The Hover Help example shows how to implement custom tooltips and | |
hover help support on a number of different SWT controls including | |
Buttons, TableItems, ToolItems and TreeItems. | |
</p> | |
<h3>Running the example</h3> | |
<p>If the Example Launcher is installed, select the Hover Help item from the Standalone category and click Run. | |
Otherwise, install and run the example manually as per the | |
<a href="swt_manual_setup.html">Standalone Examples Manual Setup</a> instructions. The executable class is | |
<code>org.eclipse.swt.examples.hoverhelp.HoverHelp</code>. | |
</p> | |
<h3>Details</h3> | |
<p>The example implements its own tooltip and hover help support. To see | |
the custom tooltips in action, hover over an item or button in the UI. | |
Notice that images appear in the left-hand corner of the tooltip, unlike | |
standard SWT tooltips created using setToolTip() on those widgets | |
that natively support them. To see the custom hover help in action, | |
hover over an item or button in the UI as before until the tooltip | |
is displayed. Without moving the pointer, hit F1. A new Shell will | |
pop up with the extended hover help information for the UI element | |
in question. | |
