Setting a tooltip for the cells of a SortableTable

[fsnolekv]

Hello All,

I am trying to set tooltip for the cells of a table based on the value of the cell. I see I can override the "getToolTipText" of the SortableTable, but I can't figure out how to get a reference to the cell's value using the MouseEvent. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Kim

The way tooltip works in JTable is the tooltip can be set on the cell renderer component. JTable will read it from cell renderer component. If you don't have control over the cell renderer component, you can use mouse event to find out the cell (using rowAtPoint and columnAtPoint methods on JTable) and then find out the cell value.

Thanks,

Thanks! RowAtPoint was the special function I needed...

Also, sorry that wasn't Jide related...
