I am loading my ComboViewer with over one thousand elements.
Some elements are longer than the width of underlying combo.
I want to add tooltip on the entries and NOT on the combo.
I want it in such a way that, when the list drops down and the user places the mouse pointer over one of the value, the entire text should be displayable via tooltip similar to the tooltip shown for a JFace TableViewer.
If you are using a
ComboViewerand you provide your ownCComboinstance, you can get children of the CCombo and one of them should be aListcontrol that it shows as a dropdown menu. You can add yourMouseTrackListenerto thisListcontrol and show tooltip depending on which item the mouse is hovering.
