[JAVA2D] ToolTipText

[Braun-Friedman, David]

Im doping that someone can give me some insight on the following issue:   I am writing a java 2D imaging application that allows the user to annotate crosses on top of a jpeg image (among allowing other image manipulations as well).  I have been trying to implement a tooltip for each of the annotations so that it will display some info about that particular annotation.  To do so, I created a class called crossAnnotation that extends JComponent, thus allowing me use the setToolTipText method for each crossAnnotation object.  The problem however, is that when I add the crossAnnoation(JComponent) obect to the imageCanvas(JPanel) where the image is drawn my whole program freezes. The program can’t seem to handle the crossAnnotation being added to the imageCanvas as JComponent.  Anyone know why? or maybe how I can implement the toolTip in some other way (but as far as I can se toolTip only works with JComponent)?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.     Thanks Dave =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
