A client of mine is particularly keen on the Wave toolbar as a measure of accessibility, and will not accept any red errors for any reason.
The sub-menu arrow in GWT by default has no alt-text associated with it, causing a wave toolbar error when the menu is on screen.
Is there a simple way to add alt text to this image, or am I going to have to sub-class MenuBar?
thanks in advance

I open a context menu programmatically. Now additionally I would like to highlight the first menu entry.
This highlighting happens when I move with the mouse over the context menu or press the arrow keys on the keyboard. I am interested how I can trigger this programmatically.
I know the API of MenuItem does not offer this feature out of the box. So I tried to fire some MouseEvents of the type MouseOver and MouseHover, but without any success.
Has anybody an idea how to implement this feature?
I am not sure if you can change menuitem highlight colors, I haven't seen any previous example before. Look at this though: Change eclipse menuitem color
If you want to simulate what the user does and if you happen to know the location of the menu item, you can use Display#setCursorLocation() to position the mouse pointer over the menu item.
Note however, that if and how a menu item is highlighted is platform specific.
You should not use this method other than for demonstration of test purposes. If your application needs to highlight or preselect an entry in a list of choices,
you should probably use another widget. If you more describe your use case, we may be able to find a suitable widget.
This is driving me mad! I love the new layout options in Word 2013, but when a callout gets to a certain size the icon for it obscures the end of the arrow, and you can't move the arrow:
Don't suppose anyone knows either how to get rid of the icon, how to click and drag on the yellow end of the arrow, or how to stop the icon appearing in the first place?
Thanks in advance.
Here are two answers that helped me. The second option gets rid of the floating Layout Options button, but at the cost of disabling some features of Word 2013.
First Option:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-word/any-way-to-disable-the-layout-options-button/47f6af4a-2acd-483e-a953-6415c8530554
It might help to increase the zoom (use the slider at the right end of the status bar) while you work with the picture.
Second Option:

Is the document in Compatibility Mode (shown by those words appearing in the title bar along with the document name)? If that's the case, click File and then click the Convert button. That will make the Layout Options button appear when a picture is selected, as well as turning on other features that are available only in the 2013 format. When you save, the document file will change to the .docx extension.
I know the second quote is about turning the Layout Options button on, but it works backwards, too. I saved my file as a *.doc instead of a *.docx and the floating button went away.
When you're finished editing your callouts, you can save it again as a *.docx.
One method that helped me was to flip horizontal, change the leader position, then flip back. That way the leader line is temporarily on the opposite side of the layout button, and both handles of the leader line are accessible, then can flip back. It is an extra step, but is another alternative.
In an attempt to automate this to quickly flip the object back and forth, I couldn't find a macro command to make a shortcut, or anything under Customize Ribbon with custom Keyboard Shortcuts to Flip Horizontal (MoreRotationOption opens up a dialog which does not give an option to flip).
The Flip Horizontal command could be called by pressing ALT JD (Format) AY (Rotate Objects) H (Horizontal) when the object is selected...
The best I could do was to add Rotate Objects to the Quick Access Toolbar, then the Flip Horizontal command could be called by pressing ALT # (whatever number you assign) H (Horizontal) which is three keystrokes.
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.
I don't know how I accidentally did this but the methods menu in my Eclipse window is too big and I want to resize it back. The menu I'm talking about is the one that pops up when you type a "." after an object and it brings down a list of methods you can use on it. I must have accidentally dragged the menu to large and now I can't drag it back. Does anyone know the name of this menu? Or better yet, how I can resize it back to normal?
This menu can be re-sized like a classic window by putting the mouse pointer at the bottom right of the menu and dragging the mouse to expand or reduce it.
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
