[Sarfaraj Khan]

Hi All,

I am beginner to the advanced java programming. There are number of classes are available in the advanced java. But for me 'ToolTipManager Class' seems quit complicated to understand. I have referred many books for this but not get exact idea about it. I wonder if you are able to let me know about the 'ToolTipManager Class' of java with suitable example. Please also let me know it's methods and constructors.

Hi friend,

ToolTipManager Class of java used to manage all ToolTips within the system. this class comprises number of properties which are used for configure how long it will take for tooltips to make itself visible and how long it hide. Suppose you have component which comprises different tooltip which are based on where the mouse is. If the mouse moves within the JTree and over valid tooltip region, then the tooltip will become visibile only after initial Delay milliseconds. The 'ToolTipManager Class' devided into the three nested classes.
