Dear All

In most windows based applications, we can find a button with icon like
[Arrow and Question mark]
It is always on the help menu
When selected the Cursor is changed to that icon, and any thing clicked
will pop-up a small yellow help tip

How can this be done with java?

Thanks ;

IIRC, context sensitive help including this pointer-questionmark cursor
should be possible with JavaHelp.
<http://java.sun.com/products/javahelp/>

[I found JavaHelp not very easy in the beginning, but once you get the
hang of it, it works quite nice.]
