Description Tod Creasey CLA 2002-01-31 15:43:00 EST 
We do not have tool tips for the elements in our tables - namely the first 3 
columns in the Tasks View. As a result assistive technologies such as JAWS have 
no information to provide the user.

SWT limitation.  Can't set tooltip on TableColumn.
Comment 2 Mike Wilson CLA 2002-02-01 15:13:58 EST 
Another feature for the hypothetical CTable?
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2002-03-14 13:23:04 EST 
Usability rather than accessiblity issue.
Comment 4 Veronika Irvine CLA 2004-09-24 10:27:11 EDT 
This is platform behaviour.  Please use the following workaround:

se/swt/snippets/Snippet125.java?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup )

Listen for mouse movement, determine the table item under the pointer, and
update the Table's tooltip accordingly
