Re: [platform-swt-dev] Popup Question

You have to fake it just like CTabFolder
does.  Look at the field toolTipEvents in CTabFolder and its usage.
Questions like this should be posted
on the newsgroup.

I have an area where I am drawing custom graphics.
 Within this area I 
want to be able to hover over an X,Y location and display some sort of
ToolTip / balloon / popup - anything would work.  The display is purely
informational, there is no need to be able to click on the popped up 
display.

Obviously I'm using a mouse listener and can catch the X,Y location and
hovering - all I need to know how to do is popup this text.  The 
awt.PopupMenu looks perfect since it has a show(Component, int x, int y)
method but we don't have Components so I don't think I can use this.

All the ToolTip and other related SWT widgets I *BELIEVE* require me to
tie down to a component, rather than just show this tiny 'window' at an
X,Y location.  Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks.
