I have a Java class that extends JTextField and covers it with a JLayer

  • 0

I have a Java class that extends JTextField and covers it with a JLayer (new Java 1.7 feature) in order to display custom graphical effects in certain conditions. Without the JLayer it is easy enough to add a tooltip using setToolTipText(String). But with the JLayer in place, nothing happens when I hold my mouse over the box. Perhaps it is blocking the mouse-over event? I also tried calling setToolTipText() on the JLayer object itself but it didn’t make any difference. So how can I get the tooltip to work?

    Did you try overriding getToolTipText and return getView().getToolTipText()? Doubt it will help though.
