Description Michael Frisino 2006-11-09 15:05:51 UTC
Use case - BPEL elements contain long names. The Diagram view cannot always show
the full name ecause of horizontal constraints. The name is truncated. User
wishes to see the full name. 

Today - user can only see full name by DBL-CLK in name field on diagram, or
looking at Name property in property sheet (even there it may be truncated and
user will have to bring up the customizer to see full name).

Recommendation - add tooltip for each Diagram element. The tooltip can show the
full name.
Comment 1 Michael Frisino 2006-11-20 16:20:01 UTC
There is an issue / problem.

Diagram is tree, and Tooltip is provide by swing API. Once tooltip is activated,
it remains active for the entire tree. So once tooltip is active on diagram it
will remain active as user moves mouse until user does something else besides
moving mouse. IF this is acceptable, then the feature is implemented. We do not
currently have any way to override this default behavior of swing.

Comment 2 Alexey Anjeleevich 2006-11-20 18:22:42 UTC
Checked in branch release551.
Tooltip templeate: <Element name> [<Bpel element type>]
