Slick Forums

Ok, so I'll just do a new topic explaining the whole deal.

What I am after is a tooltip with custom content (not just a string). When I hover an item I want to show alot of stuff in a tooltip.
I was wondering if there's some native way to do it in TWL maybe using the "tooltip" thing already in place.

Or else, maybe I can use eventhandler to see when a widget has mouseOver?

To give some idea of what I am after here's an image showing an item tooltip in the game World of Warcraft.

Just put a TextArea as tooltip content - but don't add it somewhere.

So I do not have to have XML done in some specific way?

Can I just make a Widget / TextArea whatever and add as tooltipcontent?

Example would be (psuedocoding) :


And that's all? Or do the "button" theme need specific styling somehow?
Do I need to set position/size etc on the tooltip (TextArea) ?

But I would like to know how I set a custom delay-time for a tooltip

What is this "inputmanager" ?

And take a look at the GUI class - it has several setTooltip* methods.

I did an inputmanager from one of the examples, or "inputadapter" I see it's called, sorry.
Like : "public class TWLInputAdapter extends InputAdapter"

I forgot to call its update(); in my main update(). I am curious how anything worked like that but oh well? I added it and it fixed tooltip issue.

I will look at GUI class then, I thought you could set tooltip options on each widget individually, so that was where I was looking.
