Jtable and JTabbedPane tooltips does not have "weblaf style"

[Sorceror]

Tooltips for JTable headers/cells and JTabbedPane tabs does not look like as other WebLaF tooltips. Is that feature or issue? (maybe same problem as in #180 ??)

[mgarin]

It not that "does not look like as other WebLaF tooltips" - its more like "those common Swing tooltip look differently from custom WebLaF tooltips". But that is a limitation of common Swing tooltips styling and this is why I have introduced custom tooltips manager into WebLaF.

Unfortunately, custom tooltips cannot be set for those cases yet and for some others (tree/table/list renderers and such), but it will be possible with later updates. Some of those improvements are coming with v1.29.

Thanks again for clarification and thumbs up for future updates! 👍

[mgarin]

Thanks :)
I was hoping to release v1.29 a week ago, but simply don't have any time at all. Hopefully will be able to work with it soon enough to complete last few features and improvements.

If I may comment, the white on black tool-tips are one of my favourite looks in web-laf, I think they look pretty slick.

Sure, depends on project. Those ones particular are pure Swing ones..

Possibly linked with #471

Related improvements have been implemented and will be available in v1.2.10 update.

Shortly - now you're able to provide table header and tabbed pane custom tooltips in a similar way how it was possible in list, tree and table cells. There are some new related examples available in the the demo application.

Also all of the custom tooltip providers are now set through JComponent client properties, therefore they are available for common Swing components like JList, JTable etc.

Here is an example with two providers set in JTable:

final JTable table = new JTable ( ... );
table.putClientProperty ( WebTable.HEADER_TOOLTIP_PROVIDER_PROPERTY, new TableHeaderToolTipProvider<String> ()
{
    @Nullable
    @Override
    protected String getToolTipText ( @NotNull final JTableHeader tableHeader,
                                      @NotNull final TableHeaderCellArea<String, JTableHeader> area )
    {
        return "My header tooltip";
    }
} );
table.putClientProperty ( WebTable.TOOLTIP_PROVIDER_PROPERTY, new TableToolTipProvider<Object> ()
{
    @Nullable
    @Override
    protected String getToolTipText ( @NotNull final JTable table, 
                                      @NotNull final TableCellArea<Object, JTable> area )
    {
        return "My cell tooltip";
    }
} );

Respective public static properties can be found in all Web-component versions of J-components.

use the code all the table cell show tips.how to set some table cell not show tips?

You can simply return null for the cells you don't want to show tooltips for.
I checked in the code just in case, this should definitely work, both for header and normal cells.
