In HEAD In Zest it seems that it is not possible to display tooltips on graph elements. It can be tested with attached snippet. -Launch snippet.zest application -Select a connection between 2 nodes and keep the mouse on it. expected: "Tooltip" should be displayed but nothing happened The provided snippet is single sourced, so it can be launched in RCP. In RCP tooltips are displayed as expected
Created attachment 199171 [details] Snippet allowing to reproduce the issue
In general, RAP does allow for controls to set a string tooltip, but their display is handled on the client side. So it is theoretically possible to have a string tooltip for a Zest graph node. The fundamental issue with the Zest/GEF port is that RAP does not support mouse move or hover on the server. The GEF port utilizes canvas objects and therefore does not currently have a custom client-side representation that supports the Zest API for setting an arbitrary figure to be a tooltip. I can look into making sure the string tooltips work, but figure based tooltips are a bridge too far at this point.
As I understand it, this bug requests a feature that is currently not implemented in the GEF port. Please note that the GEF port is a prototype, it's not meant to be feature complete. Setting to enhancement.
