JTable tooltip issues
I have a JTable in which each cell consists of a custom renderer. When
the user has their mouse over a certain column, I'd like for them to see my tooltip.
I can implement all of this just fine, but here is my issue --
when the user moves from one cell to the other, the tooltip never goes away, so essentially -- once the tooltip is displayed, it stays up indefinitely until the user leaves that particular column (since the other columns are not set to use tooltips).
I have tried all of the following:
overridden the JTable getToolTipText method
added a mouse listener to the table and tracked when a new cell was under the mouse and then tried to disable tooltips and then re-enable-- didn't work -- tried to unregister my table and then re-register -- didn't work.
I've now added the tooltip to the renderer components and it does the same thing.
I have to keep my dismiss delay set to Integer.MAX_VALUE for other reasons (my portion of the code is a small subset of the whole).
Basically is there any way to tell the tooltip to hide/dismiss itself and restart the initialdelay timer, or am I going to have to implement my own custom tooltip manager?
Thanks.
