[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: tooltips for the generated editor

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you take a look at the Snippet Eike referenced? The thing you need
is ColumnViewerToolTipSupport and the really important thing (and I
think here your problem will start) is that you have to use a
ColumnViewerLabelProvider and implement the getTooltipText() method.

If using ColumnViewerLabelProvider (or better a kind of
CellLabelProvider) then you should take a look at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/JFaceSnippets#Snippet031TableViewerCustomTooltipsMultiSelection
