Re: [platform-swt-dev] GTK's tooltip.

[Arnaud De Muyser <ademuyser@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've found an existing bug for first
problem (tooltip placement): https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=73390
But none for second one ( tooltip appear
no more after a setToolTipText(null) until mouse exit/enter again control
).
And be sure that is exaclty the same
code running on Windows (where tooltip works fine) and Linux/GTK.

GTK puts the tooltip there and we can't stop it.  Please verify that
the code you are writing works on another platform (say Windows) and not
on GTK and enter a bug report as necessary.  Sorry I can't be more
helpful.

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] GTK's tooltip.

Hello, 
I've defined my own Control which sometimes show a tool tip using Control.setToolTipText()
method. 
It appears that on Linux suse, eclipse 3.0.2  GTK always show tooltip
at the bottom of the widget, if this is good 
for "small" control as button, TreeItem and other, this is not
for my control (due to it bigger size). 
Why does not GTK tooltip appear below the mouse as window's tooltip does
? 

I have an other problem, when the mouse enter my widget, the followings
call of setToolTipText( str ) 
with a not null str appear (at the bottom, but appear), when a setToolTipText(null)
call is made, 
the tooltip disappear (as javadoc said, good!), but for allnext call to
setToolTipText( "text") I made 
no tooltip are shown (except if I move the mouse outer my control, then
move mouse cursor into control). 

If there any body who know how to display control's tooltip below mouse
cursor rather than at the bottom 
of the control ? 
And know how can do for made setToolTipText("text") always work,
even if after a setToolTipText(null). 

Any help is welcome, 
Thanks. 

Arnaud.
