Tooltips for individual JCombo items

I am currently trying to extend a JCombo used for searches in a database to also contain Tooltips (fetched from Database just like the JCombo items).
if(wipbinData!=null)
for(int i=0;i<wipbinData.length;i++)
directCRcombobox.addItem(wipbinData[0]);
directCRcombobox.setToolTipText(wipbinData[i][1]); //here I need not to make tooltip work only on JCombo in general but on specific ceels.
All tips on getting tooltips on single items in the combobox would be appreciated.

I tried to look at solving the extra information need with the tooltips. But as that turned out to be too tricky I instead added the extra information after the main info in the combobox. Then I fixed my query by using stringtokenizer to get only the first text for the query.
But thanks for the answer anyway

View settings for individual sidebar items

Is there a way to save the view settings for individual sidebar items? For example, always have "Documents" open in list view and always have "Applications" open in column view. Finder seems to always use whatever view setting I just used previously for every Finder item (except Photos, which will always display in icon view).

If you hold down the Command key (the one with the cloverleaf looking thingy) and click on an item a new window will open with whatever settings the item had last time it was used. If you hold down the Option key and click on an item, its window opens, with whatever settings it had, and the original Finder window closes. Otherwise just clicking an item in the Sidebar opens the item in whatever format the current window has.

MultiLine tooltip for the JList item

Hi,
I did the search for the multiline tooltip in this forum and
I found the following link which is kind of what I am looking for
http://www.codeguru.com/java/articles/122.shtml
Since the item tooltip string could be very long (no limit), I would like to truncate it. The line sepearator cannot be based on the \n of
the tooltip text. I am thinking to fix size the JTextArea to: row 4
and columan 40, and put the tooltip text into it (igoring the \n)
with the setLineWrap(true) and setWrapStyleWord(true).
If the JTextArea line goes more than 3, the tooltip text should only
display the first 3 lines of the JTextArea and append "..." at the end
of the 3rd line. Is is possible? Or someone has better idea? Or if
there is sample code out there doing similar thing?
Thanks,
Pin

why not just use html?
return "<html> sometext<br>line2<br>line3</html>";
Of course you'll have to manually break the line up but it's not all
that hard to write.

Multiline tooltip for JComboBox items.

Hi, As the title suggests I'd like to create a multiline tooltip for items in a combobox list.
I have implemented a multiline tooltip renderer which works perfectly on any component except JComboBox items.
I have also implemented a ListCellRenderer for a combobox that enables tooltips for the combobox items. Also works perfectly, except that they are single line tooltips.
The tooltip text is read from an xml file, therefore I have no control on how long the line of text is. Most of the time the text also contains newlines.
This is the method (overridden from JComponent) added to a subclass of a component so that that component uses the MultiLineToolTip:
    public JToolTip createToolTip() {
        MultiLineToolTip tip = new MultiLineToolTip(this);
        tip.setComponent(this);
        return tip;
    }And this is the ListCellRenderer used on the combobox, so that items have (single-line) tooltips enabled:
    private class ToolTipEnabledComboBoxRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRenderer{
         public ToolTipEnabledComboBoxRenderer(){
              setOpaque(true);
         public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list,Object value,
                                                          int index,boolean isSelected,
                                                          boolean cellHasFocus) {
              String entry = (String)value;
              if (isSelected || cellHasFocus) {
                   this.setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
                   setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
              } else {
                   this.setBackground(list.getBackground());
                   setForeground(list.getForeground());
              this.setText(entry);
              if(isSelected || cellHasFocus){
                   if(constraint!=null &&combobox!=null &&
                               constraint.getType() == Constrained.CONTROLLED_VOCABULARY){
                        String tooltip = ((ControlledVocabulary)constraint).getEntryDescription(entry);
                        if(tooltip==null || tooltip.equals("")){
                             tooltip="";
                        list.setToolTipText(tooltip);
              return this;
    }It seems to me that what I have to do is subclass the list used by the combobox and override the createToolTip() method. But how can I set the list used by the combobox? As far as I know the only time I can access the list is in the getListCellRendererComponent() method of the ListCellRenderer, in which the list is a parameter.
Any ideas?

Dunning Notice per Individual Line Items.

We have a dunning requirement to print individual dunning notice per line item. In fact, SAP standard form will give support for all open items of respective customer. Recently, we have developed a form in such a way that it will consider only one Open line item and it is picking up fine. But the problem it is generating spool request for only first open line item.
In fact, our requirement to generate Dunning Forms (spool requests) for all other open items as well.
If anybody knows how to generate Dunning Form for Individual Open Items, please let us know.
Please consider the above requirement on top priority basis, try to answer or atleast give clue how to achieve it.
Regards.

Hello Sekhar,
I am not sure, but, it is not correct to do Dunning at Individual Line Item level (unlike correspondence).
The reason is that, the Customer Master Data is normally updated once at the end of Dunning Run with the Latest Dunned Date and the appropriate Dunning Level.
If you go for Dunning at individual Item Level, then it is obviously wrong to keep on updating Customer Master.
Hope this info enables you to analyse in the right direction

Different Cost Centers for Different Line Items in a single Reservation

Hello Gurus,
When we create a Material Reservation, we give the cost center at the header level and that cost center is accounted for each of the line items in the reservation. But when the reservation has many line items which depend on different cost centers, there is a need to enter different cost centers for different line items in the same Material Reservation. How can this be done? Please suggest.

Hi,
It's a standard restriction in SAP functionality where one reservation document can only accommodate one cost center.
You can not maintain multiple cost centres for individual line items.
You have to create seperate Reservations for each cost centre.
check below thread:
ONE RESERVATION FOR DIFF COST CENTERS

Adding different tooltip for a column in table??

Hi here,
I have read the similar title "Adding ToolTip for individual cell in the table".
The method that use "tableModel" and "override getToolTipText" for individual cell is useful for individual cell with tooltip that i have tried.
How could i get the tooltip for each columns and show every row value on each tooltip.I wish when mouse moved above a column and the column could show all of that column's row value.
Please help me.
Thanks..

your explanation sounds a bit confusing but if i got you right
you could do something like this in your table
public String getToolTipText(MouseEvent me)
      int row = this.rowAtPoint(me.getPoint());
      StringBuffer tooltip = new StringBuffer();
      for(int i=0; i<getColumnCount; i++)
         tooltip.append(getValueAt(row, i).toString());
      return tooltip.toString();
   }

Cell tooltip for ALV

Hello experts,
I am new to ALV development. I have created an ALV grid report which displays data fetching from DDIC tables.
I want to display tooltip for each individual cell of the ALV, I know about using field category property SELTEXT_M but its used for entire column tooltip. My requirement is to display tooltip for individual cell in the grid.
Please provide me simple explanation to use tooltip for cell in ALV.
Simple example code would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Viral Patel

Hi,
If you are using OOPS ALV then, there is a field available in the field catalogue : TOOLTIP which you can use to display the tooltip for the column header.
try this:
wa_fcat-TOOLTIP = '-tooltip--'.
I hope it helps you.
Thanks & Regards,

Problem with setting tooltips for items of a JCombobox

hi guys,
I want to set tooltips for items of JComboBox & the code that i have written is given below , but the tooltip text is set for all the items of Nonitindustrycombo but the tooltips remain the same even for Nonitdesgcombo's items.
Is that we need to refresh the ComboboxRenderer every time ?
I am not able to trace out the exact reason for this,please if anyone can suggest me something regarding this would be of great use to me.
class Searchpanel extends JPanel {
String[] str = null;
public SearchPanel(){
Nonitindustrycombo.addItem("--Select--");
ArrayList NonITindus = ERPModel.getAllNonitIndustry(); //gets all the items(strings) for Nonitindustrycombo
for (Iterator iter = NonITindus.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
String str = iter.next().toString();
Nonitindustrycombo.addItem(str);
SetTooltip(Nonitindustrycombo,NonITindus);
Nonitdesgcombo.addItem("--Select---");
ArrayList desg = ERPModel.getAllNonitDesg(); //gets all the items(strings) for Nonitdesgcombo
for (Iterator iter = desg.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
Nonitdesgcombo.addItem(iter.next());
SetTooltip(Nonitdesgcombo,desg);
class MyComboBoxRenderer extends BasicComboBoxRenderer
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value,
int index, boolean isSelected,
boolean cellHasFocus)
if (isSelected)
setBackground(list.getSelectionBackground());
setForeground(list.getSelectionForeground());
if (0 < (index))
list.setToolTipText(str[index - 1]);
else
setBackground(list.getBackground());
setForeground(list.getForeground());
setFont(list.getFont());
setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
return this;
private void SetTooltip(JComboBox combo,ArrayList arr){
str = (String []) arr.toArray (new String [arr.size ()]);
combo.setRenderer(new MyComboBoxRenderer());
public static void main(String[] args){
new SearchPanel();

1) You where given a working example in your last posting on this topic. Compare your code with the working code to see whats different and fix it.
2) The code you posted doesn't compile.
3) You didn't use the "Code Formatting Tags" when you posted your code so it not readable.

Setting ToolTips for items which are disabled.

Folks,
No offence meant if this is a repeat.
I have a JPopupMenu with Action as its components.
1) I have disabled certain menu items to false.
2) I would like to use a ToolTipText to show a message 'You have no permission'
when the user hovers over the menu items which are disabled/set to false
3) I wrote my own ToolTipText,but what is happening is that I am getting the tool tip text
for all menu items.
Please can anyone help me in how to get tooltiptext for menu items which are enabled to false?
Help much appreciated
// JPopupMenu
JPopupMenu pm = new JPopupMenu();
// Add Action
pm.add(new GraphAction());
pm.add(new DescendantsAction());
pm.add(new DebugAction()).setEnabled(false);
ToolTipTextForMenuItems.setToolTipForIndividualItem(pm.getComponent()) // Does not display any Tool Tip.
pm.add(new ResetAction()).setEnabled(false);
ToolTipTextForMenuItems.setToolTipTextForMenuItem(pm); // Shows ToolTipText for all menu items (disabled and enabled)
ToolTip Code
public class ToolTipTextForMenuItems {
private static final String TOOL_TIP_TEXT = "You have no permission";
     public static void setToolTipTextForMenuItem(JPopupMenu popupMenu){
             for (int i=0; i<popupMenu.getComponentCount(); i++){
                Component c = popupMenu.getComponent(i);
                if (c instanceof JComponent) {
                          ((JComponent)c).setToolTipText(TOOL_TIP_TEXT);
     public static void setToolTipForIndividualItem(Component c){
           if (c instanceof JComponent) {
                     ((JComponent)c).setToolTipText(TOOL_TIP_TEXT);
}

Yes,I have looked at the Abstract Action code sent in
I have not used Action and Abstract Action before,hence if you can/could just
modify this as per my requirement,then I can enhance on this.
No offence meant for the above
Thanks

Unable to set tooltip for item (sap.ui.core.Item)

sap.ui.core.Item does not have the property 'tooltip'. But it borrows 'tooltip' property and setTooltip( ), getTooltip( ) methods from sap.ui.core.Element.
Still, if I set the tooltip for item, it is not reflected. What might be wrong?
Consider the following piece of code for example:
var item = new sap.ui.core.Item({text:'Item'});
item.setTooltip('tooltip');
var oCollection = new sap.ui.ux3.Collection({ items: item
var oCollectionInspector = new sap.ui.ux3.CollectionInspector({
'fitParent' : false,
'collections' : [
new sap.ui.ux3.Collection({
'title' : 'My Accounts',
'items' : [ item]
oCollectionInspector.placeAt('content');

Tooltip is applied on the Item, but it seems Collection Inspector set its own tooltip for the Item. You can do something like this to set your own tooltip,
var item = new sap.ui.core.Item("myItem",{text:'Item'});
var oCollectionInspector = new sap.ui.ux3.CollectionInspector({
'fitParent' : false,
'collections' : [
new sap.ui.ux3.Collection({
'title' : 'My Accounts',
'items' : [ item]
oCollectionInspector.placeAt('content');
oCollectionInspector.onAfterRendering = function(){
sap.ui.ux3.CollectionInspector.prototype.onAfterRendering.apply(this,arguments);
$('#myItem').attr('title','My Tooltip');
