Build Identifier: 0.7.0

Hi,

Currently I define the tooltips for connections and shapes in ToolBehaviorProvider before the diagram is rendored. As a result I would not be able to change the tooltip later.

I have a requirement that the names in shapes in the diagram can be changed by the user. In such cases, I would also expect the tooltip to be changed.

Could you provide a way to specify the tootips dynamically either at the time mouse-over or at the time of changing the text for a shape?

Regards,
Panneer

Reproducible: Always

Also other tooltips besides of strings should be supported
Comment 2 Michael Wenz CLA 2010-12-16 09:27:17 EST 
Of course M5 not M4

Hi Panneer,
the functionality you requested is already available. Whenever business objects are changed, tooltips are also refreshed accordingly, e.g. when you are renaming a shape. I this O.K. for you?

Hi Panneer,
add the following code snippet to the TutorialToolBehaviorProvider of our tutorial plug-in, which implements tooltips for EClass shapes:

@Override
public String getToolTip(GraphicsAlgorithm ga) {
   PictogramElement pe = ga.getPictogramElement();
   Object bo = getFeatureProvider().getBusinessObjectForPictogramElement(pe);
   if (bo instanceof EClass) {
      return ((EClass) bo).getName();
   }
   return super.getToolTip(ga);
}

You will see renaming an EClass will change the tooltip.
Regards,
Juergen
