[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: [How to] SWT -> Listeners for MenuItem

["Philippe Hordonneau" <philippe.hordonneau@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Steve to answer.

No the snippet doesn't. I must click on the menu item "File" do see the text
in the status line.
That I want is to see the text of the items of the menu bar as soon as the
mouse cursor is over them, without clicking.
I am using Eclipse 3.0.2 under Windows XP
I have tried a lot of things. Do you have any solution?
