Hi All,

Is there any way tooltip text of a JButton can be shown always, rather
than it get displayed on mouse over of the JButton

Thanks in advance

Is that a question? Question marks help mark them
as such. But, in any case, I hope not.

Well, when you display the tooltip always, rather than only when the
mouse is over the button, then I wouldn't call it a tooltip anymore.

Quoted from the API doc of method JDocument#setTooltipText: "The text
displays when the cursor lingers over the component."

So, my question is: Why do you want a permanent "tooltip"? May be you
want some kind of JWindow instead.
