Tooltip on JTable cells (take 2)
In a previous post, I explain how to add tooltips to JTable cells. Armand Bendananff told, in a comment, that a better way is to override the table's getToolTipText method as in:
public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent event) { Point p = event.getPoint(); // Locate the renderer under the event location int colIndex = columnAtPoint(p); int rowIndex = rowAtPoint(p); String tooltip = "some value based on the row/col"; return tooltip; }
