In LibreOffice Calc I have a form with checkbox controls. I use the Help Text property to display tooltips for them, but this only works when the control is enabled. How can I make a tooltip display also for a disabled control?
Libreoffice version 5.3.4.2
It could be that this is not possible to do, at least not the way I originally intended.
My solution: Remove the label text from the checkbox control, instead add it in a separate label control. Then put the tooltip (help text) on the label instead. It will not be as obvious as before when the checkbox is disabled as the label text is not greyed out, but the tooltip will always display.

This special header tooltip appears when I click on the row header. The sum is not a useful aggregation here. How can I edit it or turn it off? Regular tooltips for this worksheet are turned off.
My last resort will be to hover a blank box over the header region so it cannot be clicked by a user, but I'd rather them be able to click to highlight.
The best way to achieve this is by turning off the tooltip features as follows:
This will remove the tooltips completely
I can't find out how to disable this feature. VSCode will scroll to wherever I click in the text editor. It ends up scrolling the text as I press down to click and text gets highlighted until I release the click. This is very annoying. I have to click very very lightly in order to prevent this from happening. How do I disable this scroll-to-click feature.
I found the feature that allows the behavior to happen. It is called "Cursor Surrounding Lines".
Editor: Cursor Surrounding Lines
Controls the minimal number of visible leading and trailing lines surrounding the cursor. Known as 'scrollOff' or 'scrollOffset' in some other editors.
The value was set to 200, so I just set it to 0. Fixed the issue.
I'm able to highlight text but I'd like to use custom highlight colors. Even if I define custom colors, Word seems to use one of the colors in the default palette that it thinks is closest.
myRange.font.highlightColor = "#ffcc00"; // Should be orange. Comes out red
That color should come out orange but it comes out red.
Any ideas?
Word does not support custom highlight colors - only the traditionl, basic sixteen colors. This is a limitation of the Word application, not the Office JS APIs.
It would be possible to apply custom colors using Shading, however (as in borders and shading).
Here's a work-around to the problem of defining custom highlight colors which I discovered quite some time ago ..
If you paste in highlighted text copied from an application from outside of Word (i.e., highlighted text from an AOL email let's say), you can then:
Use the insertion bar to select and highlight an area of the text you just pasted in
Press the FORMAT PAINTER tool to copy the formatting of the area you've selected. The pointer changes to a PAINTBRUSH icon (with an insertion bar attached)
Move the PAINTBRUSH to the existing Word text that you want to highlight using the new color
Press and hold the mouse button (usually the left button) while selecting the specific text
Release the mouse button to apply the new highlighting and formatting
The applied highlighting will also include any other existing formatting; so you MAY have to change the font or adjust some other feature (i.e., turn on/off bold, italics, underline, etc.) But this is easily accomplished. The point is that you can now have ANY color highlighting that you prefer – this hack absolutely DOES work!
Here's, one last thing – when you save the document (by clicking the OFFICE BUTTON in the upper left corner), I would advise that you first select WORD OPTIONS, then SAVE and check the box next to "Embed fonts in the file" under "Preserve fidelity when sharing this document" (I always uncheck the other two boxes). This is to ensure that before you export or print the document, you may be sure that all the fonts and features have been saved within it.
And for the record, this technique is NOT shading.
The highlighting comes from actual HIGHLIGHTED TEXT copied from a document or application from OUTSIDE of Word. So it has nothing whatsoever to do with Word's shading feature. I've even copied highlighted text from non-dedicated word processing applications, and then pasted the text into Word – where it is then available to apply the copied highlighting to text within the existing Word document.
If you think about it – the fact that Word 2007 permits you to define any THEME color you want clearly shows that one should be able to define ANY desired custom HIGHLIGHTING color as well – besides just the 15 basic colors (and excluding the "no color"). And this work-around proves that this is so. The problem is that the Word application itself does not permit you to accomplish this directly.
I have a graphical representation for my model, and I want to implement a tooltip that look like jdt tooltip in the following :
- the tooltip shows up when hover over the object in the canvas
- being able to click on the tooltip window to focus, and scroll bar is there if needed.
- Ability to resize the tooltip window after the user change focus to it
- being able to assign command with F2 keybind to pop up the tooltip window (I know how to create command, and how to associate keybind with it)
- Ability to have hyperlinks in the tooltip text ( optional )
I do not know from where to start.
Which eclipse interfaces/classes to implement, extensions to add, adaptors to support.
I tried to find a work through tutorial but I could not.
Thanks in advance
A lot of what you describe is specific to the Eclipse Text editor and JDT code so won't be available in a Canvas so you would have to write your own code.
You can create a tooltip based on org.eclipse.jface.window.ToolTip. If the tooltip contains StyledText you can create hyperlinks.
There is an example of a fairly elaborate custom tooltip Here
What Eclipse does when the tooltip is clicked is open a new normal window of exactly the same size and contents over the tooltip and close the tooltip.
Can anyone show me how to use org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ColumnViewerToolTipSupport to create a tooltip similar to the one shown in Eclipse IDE when you hover your mouse to any Java element? That is, I want the tooltip to be resizable, I also want to hook an F2 key to show the tooltip on demand in addition to mouse hover.
I have managed to add my own custom control to the tooltip (a TableViewer), but I can't see any methods/ways to set the tooltip to be resizable and only dissappear when user clicks on a key (e.g. esc key). Is this even possible with ColumnViewerToolTipSupport?
I have used as my reference an example at http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.snippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippets/viewers/Snippet037FancyCustomTooltips.java?view=markup
Thanks.
The window appearing in Eclipse when you hover mouse pointer over a Java element is not a tooltip, but InformationControl. See org.eclipse.jface.text.AbstractInformationControlManager.install(Control) for more information.
I don't think it will work right away with table cells, so you probably will have to combine some ColumnViewerToolTipSupport techniques with it.
Cheers,
Max
