Re: Tooltips in JList

[Greg Munt]

IIRC DefaultListCellRenderer returns JLabels cast to Component. So, simply cast them to JComponent, to set the tool tip text. -----Original Message----- From: Arnaud Hallais <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 04:32 Subject: Tooltips in JList Hello,   I'd like to make a JList which displays different tooltips depending on which item the mouse is on. Is there any simple way to do this, I did not find it, sorry!   1 - I tryed to overwrite the JList method getToolTipText() but I am missing the position of the mouse so I can't determine which item is under the mouse 2 - I tryed to overwrite the DefaultListCellRenderer method getListCellRendererComponent to has a tooltip to all of the item coponents but they are Component not JComponent so no setTooltipText() method. 3 - I am stuck!   thanks for any advise   a++
