Eclipse Platform
Release 3.5

org.eclipse.jface.text
Class AbstractHoverInformationControlManager


java.lang.Object
  extended by 

org.eclipse.jface.text.AbstractInformationControlManager
      extended by 
org.eclipse.jface.text.AbstractHoverInformationControlManager
Direct Known Subclasses:
AnnotationBarHoverManager

public abstract class AbstractHoverInformationControlManager
extends AbstractInformationControlManager

An information control manager that shows information in response to mouse hover events. The mouse hover events are caught by registering a MouseTrackListener on the manager's subject control. The manager has by default an information control closer that closes the information control as soon as the mouse pointer leaves the subject area, the user presses a key, or the subject control is resized, moved, or deactivated.

When being activated by a mouse hover event, the manager disables itself, until the mouse leaves the subject area. Thus, the manager is usually still disabled, when the information control has already been closed by the closer.

Since:
2.0
