I'm using the PropertyTable from JIDE and I'm having a problem with tooltips when hovering over a table cell.
This table uses JTooltip and if I have on one cell a string containing html like this:
<b>BOLD</b>
When hovering over, the tooltip will display it like this:
BOLD
I tried reading the PropertyTable and JTooltip docs, but can't find anything. From what I've found in other questions here on stackoverflow, the JTooltip display the resulted html code if you enclose the string value like this:
<html><b>BOLD</b></html>
, but here it's not the case.
Is there any way to show the string value inside the tooltip? I can't seem to find anything in the docs of JTooltip.
Thank you!
The tool tip is provided by the
TableCellRenderer, which by default return theTOOL_TIP_TEXT_KEYclient property. You may try to override theTableCellRenderer(which should bePropertyTableCellRenderer) and either:TableCellRenderer::getToolTipText(MouseEvent)getTableCellRendererComponentYou could also try to overrides
PropertyTable::getToolTipText(MouseEvent)but you'll have to re-implement quite a bit of logic.
