Like ColumnViewerToolTipSupport#enableFor() can be used to activate tooltips on a TableViewer, it should also be possible to activate tooltips for a TreeViewer.

I saw changes regarding cell tooltips for the Tree arrive in CVS (including the JFace API part), but it doesn't seem to work.
Am I missing something?

Hi Ruediger, could you provide a snippet that doesn't work for you?

Comment 4 Rüdiger Herrmann

I extended the TreeViewerExample from the org.eclipse.rap.examples.pages plug-in:
* added ColumnViewerToolTipSupport.enableFor( viewer ) after creating the TreeViewers
* implemented getToolTipText() in the label provider
Is there anything else necessary to get tooltips for the TreeViewer?

I did exactly the same testing.... and it works. Make sure that you do this for the second TreeViewer (with columns). Just found that is doesn't work for Tree/TableViewer without columns (first TreeViewer).

Thanks for the fast reply, Ivan. I only used the column-less TreeViewer. It works on the one with columns.

The cell tooltips for column-less Tree/TableViewer is fixed in CVS HEAD.

Is this worth a N&N entry? What do you think?
