Interface ToolTipSupport

public interface ToolTipSupport

This is an interface that can be implemented on a table model. If you use JideTable or its subclasses and you does use the default table header created by those tables, the tooltip returned from getToolTipText(int) method will be used as the table header tooltip. If you have to use your own TableHeader, make sure you override getToolTipText(MouseEvent) method and call JideTable's getTableHeaderToolTipText(MouseEvent) method.

 public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent event) {
     String toolTipText = getTableHeaderToolTipText(event);
     if(toolTipText != null) {
         return toolTipText;
     }
     else {
         return super.getToolTipText(event);
     }
 }
