Re: [ jEdit-users ] Need help with a tooltip function

[tvojeho <tv...@us...>]

That works great, Jarek.

I have googled a little and put together this:

ToolTip(String Text, int X, int Y, long milliseconds)
  {
  Runnable r = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
      // ... code to be executed ...

          JWindow note = new JWindow();
   ....
          note.dispose();
    }
  };

  Thread thr1 = new Thread(r);
  thr1.start();
  }

ToolTip("tooltip text", 0, 0, 5000);

but I was not sure what to do with the thread I started - should it be
properly closed or what? Your code is much better.
