Don't bother with text width and all that, In ToolTip.getToolTipText(...) :
// determine row r and column c where the mouseevent occurred
...
// retrieve the component at index (r,c)
Component comp =
myTable.getTableCellRendererComponent(null,myTable.getValueAt(r,c),false,fal
se,r,c)
// compare the component width to the table column width
TableColumn tc = myTable.getTableColumnModel().getColumn(c)
if (comp.getWidth() > tc.getWidth()) {
return myTable.getValueAt(r,c).toString(); // you might
want to change that to more serious way since you know what kind of object
getValueAt returns
} else
return null;
