JToolTip with components in it

Here's how you can do it:import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class MBTestApplication extends JFrame {

public MBTestApplication() {

JPanel customPanelForToolTip = new JPanel();

customPanelForToolTip.setBackground(Color.red); //just to prove it's there ;-)

//

eJButton b = new eJButton("Click Here", customPanelForToolTip);

b.setToolTipText(""); //just to get it to display tooltips

getContentPane().add(b);

}

//

public static void main(String[] args) {

JFrame f = new MBTestApplication();

f.setBounds(100,100,300,300);

f.show();

}

}

//

class eJButton extends JButton {

JPanel customToolTipPanel;

public eJButton(String s, JPanel toolTipPanel) {

super(s);

customToolTipPanel = toolTipPanel;

}

public JToolTip createToolTip() {

JToolTip tip = new eJToolTip(customToolTipPanel);

tip.setComponent(this);

tip.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,50));

return tip;

}

}

//

class eJToolTip extends JToolTip {

public eJToolTip(JPanel customToolTipPanel) {

super();

setLayout(new BorderLayout());

add(customToolTipPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

}

}
