Hi,

in my component I want to display dynamic tooltips, i.e. a different tooltip
is displayed each time you hover over the component.

I overrode createToolTip() with the following method but the String "TEST"
is never displayed...instead it always shows "HALLO" although the method
createToolTip() is called (I tested with the debugger).

class myComp() extends JComponent
{
  public myComp()
{
  setToolTipText("HALLO!");
}
public JToolTip createToolTip()
{
   JToolTip toolTip = super.createToolTip();
   toolTip.setTipText("TEST...");
   return toolTip;
}
}

Any hints?
