Class ca.bc.europa.awt.ToolTip

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----ca.bc.europa.awt.ToolTip

public synchronized class ToolTip

extends Object

implements MouseListener, Runnable

The ToolTip class allows the programmer to assign info blurbs to components.

The Tool Tip or popup help window appears after a delay. The ToolTip object is a MouseListener that is attached to components. Only one ToolTip need be created per app since only one tip window is required.

The popup window extends Window so unsigned applets will have tool tip windows with the "Warning Applet Window" message tacked on the bottom.
