Hi everyone!
It’s time for another Table/TreeTable enhancement. You must know how the table just cuts off the text in the cells and column headers when the column is a bit too narrow to fit everything? Well, I released TableTooltips add-on to fix this annoying usability issue.
This add-on will automatically add tooltips to cells with text content, column header cells and Label components in cells. The tooltips are only shown if the content is actually cut off, so there’s no unnecessary clutter in the view.
Download from the directory:
http://vaadin.com/directory/#addon/tabletooltips
Usage: Just add the JAR file to your project and your done. This replaces TableConnector and TreeTableConnector so you don’t need to write any additional code. It will work automatically in every Table/TreeTable in your project.
Note: This will NOT work with FilteringTable (or any other similar add-on which is based on a copy-pasted version of the Table)
Please reply with any feedback / issues you may have.
