How to show popup with full text which is too long to fit it in Label bounds?

1

Hello,
it seems to be quite standard behaviour when user hover mouse over text which is too long to fit it in defined bounds to show full text in some popup.

I wonder if is there such solution in Juce code or do I need to override Label::mouseEnter() to provide such solution?

I’ve tried to find something like that in juce::Label documentation, but I can’t see anything in reference to that.

For any help great thanks in advance.

Best Regards.

Here is how I am trying to make it work …without success:

 class ToolTipTest: public juce::Component,  public juce::SettableTooltipClient { 
... 
ToolTipTest(){
...
  setTooltip("tooltip");
...
}

Any hints?

You need a TooltipWindow instance: JUCE: TooltipWindow Class Reference

My only experience is with audio plugins, I just add a

juce::SharedResourcePointer<juce::TooltipWindow> tooltipWindow;

to my Editor class and it "just works"™️.
