tool tip for check box tree node

[RajaRajeswari_V]

Hi,

is it possible to add the tooltip for each node of check box tree.

Please try override JTree#getToolTipText(MouseEvent). Please read the javadoc first to avoid a trick.

Any examples of this?

Sorry that our sample project could not cover every single feature. Can you please give the solution a try? Let us know if you encounter any issue.

Thanks,

I'm not sure what "Solution" you are mentioning here.

I have my own DefaultTreeCellRenderer that I'm calling setToolTipText("something here") and I'm not seeing any tooltips when I mouse over the node in the CheckBoxTree

Thanks for the completely useless reply. I can clearly read the first time you guys posted that comment. It was a useless comment then, and the second time it's still useless.

I've googled for several methods for getting a tooltip text for nodes to show up and it seems the most common method is to do what I've done. call setToolTipText inside my own renderer, but that isn't working.

Code: Select all

public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent(JTree tree, Object value, boolean selected,
            boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row, boolean hasFocus) {
         
         Component c = super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, selected, expanded, leaf, row, hasFocus);
         if (value != null) {

            if (value instanceof DefaultMutableTreeNode) {
               DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode) value;
               Object o = node.getUserObject();
               if (o instanceof MyCustomObj) {
                  MyCustomObj def = (MyCustomObj) node.getUserObject();
                  setText(def.getName() + " : " + def.getVersion());
                  setToolTipText(def.getName());
               } else {
                  setToolTipText((String) o);
               }
            }                                   
         }
         return c;
      }


My calls to setToolTipText() are called with non null Strings, but they still don't show up when I mouse over.

If you can provide something more useful, say a url that could attempt to show how to properly do this, that would be great.

Ok I figured it out. I hadn't registered the checkboxtree with the tooltip manager...

ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().registerComponent(checkboxtree);

Thanks for trying and sharing.
