Controling ToolTipText
I have an app and all works great.
but i have several images on the screen that take up a lot of space so i only show the upper left corner of the image.
if someone wants to see the whole image they just hold the cursor over the small image and it appears in full size for a while and then disappears.
what i want to do is when the small image is first added to the component have the tooltip text popup without the cursor being over the image.
it would also be nice if i could simply have certain tooltiptexts just stay up all the time if the user turns on that function.
i realize i can add a JPanel but it all looks great using the tooltiptext and just wondering if i can control the putting up and taking down of the tooltiptext other then holding the cursor over it.
Thanks.
