How to create multiline tooltip text in GWT

Question

I need to show tool tip text in multiple lines, but setTitle() method in gwt is simply ignoring the \n character?

Is this possible to achieve?

Answer 1

If you are using the title property then it is not possible to have multi line tooltip. This is not a GWT problem, but a browser tooltip implementation/handling issue. If you really need to have a multi line tooltip then use Popup panel or DecoratedPopupPanel.

This will involve a little extra coding than just making a call to setTitle, but as a benefit you get complete control over how the tooltip is presented.

Answer 2

setTitle worked for me if I included a \n as a line separator.
