Showing Tooltip Dynamically on JbuttonActionPerfomed.

Here is the simple code for showing a custom tooltip..

   

Timer schi=null; 

I have taken a schi instance level timer type variable to set when the tooltip it has to hide.

int delay=5000;
int period=10000;

These Two are instance level variable defined for the after that delay timer will execute and period is after each 10000 It will Execute

ttip is a Tooltip instance variable

on jbutton action perfomed dynamically popping up the tooltip with this code.

 try{schi.cancel();}
        catch(Exception es)
        {
            System.out.println(""+es);
        }
        Point pp=evt.getLocationOnScreen();
        try{
        ttip.hide();}catch(Exception ed){
            System.out.println("how");
        }
        ttip=new ToolTip("Text is here");
        ttip.setText(jTextField1.getText());
        ttip.setSize(200, 200);
        ttip.setLocation(pp);
        ttip.show();
        
hidema();

_____________________

hidema() is a function in which schi timer is defined

 

code inside hidema is actually used to hide the tooltip

 void hidema()
    { 
 try{
    schi=new Timer();
    schi.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask()
    {
        public void run()
        {
       //  here stops
    ttip.hide();
            
             
        }

    },elay,eriod);
    //schi.cancel();
    }catch(NullPointerException npe)
    {
        System.out.println("got isded"+npe);
    }
    }
