Comments on: Long lines in Java Tooltips (or multiline tooltips) http://extremejava.tpk.com.br/2008/02/14/long-lines-in-java-tooltips-or-multiline-tooltips/ I'm not a guru, but sometimes I need to do some "unusual" things in Java. These things are so extreme that are not well documented. To help other Java users, I post my discoveries here.

It works half a way. When the ToolTipo container (JPannel) shows inside the tooltiped control's container it is transparent (setting setOpaque to false) but when it shows partially of full outside it gets opaque ?? How is this possible, and what can i don for changinng this behavior ? Thanks. Edu I’ve done this already, but the main problem is that i want a transparent background for my tooltip.

I'm having trouble with some tooltips too, and i found out reading the source code of the java jars (via NetBeans 6.1) the same as you. I have a lot of questions on this (how to show an image is the first one...) I'm trying to override the container (the JPanel that renders the HTML) and cant find the starting point, where to start. Can ypu help me out? Thanks a lot. PD: Do you speak spanish ? Bye. Hi!
