<h2>SWT Standalone Example - Hover Help</h2>
<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.
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.
To see the custom hover help in action, hover over an item or button in the UI until
the tooltip is displayed. Without moving the mouse, hit F1. A new Shell will pop up with the
extended hover help information for the UI element in question.
