Hi everyone.

I have a simple question. I would like to enable tooltip text on a JPanel in
a JScollPane. I have
overridden getToolTipText but it is not called when I leave the mouse over
the scroll pane and
the panel within it. Can someone please tell me what I am missing?

Thanks in advance

JPanel components are not by default managed by the ToolTipManager. So
you need to tell it your panel has a tooltip:

ToolTipManager.sharedInstance().registerComponent(theJPanel);
