How to set a tooltip on a JavaFX Pane?

Question

Method setToolTip() can't be used for pane, but аll the same, it is possible? How I can set a tooltip on a JavaFX Pane? Or how to display a toolbox at the cursor position?

Answer 1

Use the static Tooltip.install(node, tooltip) method to install a tooltip onto a node which does not possess a node.setTooltip(tooltip) method.

Pane pane = new Pane();
pane.setPrefSize(100, 100);
Tooltip tooltip = new Tooltip("This is a Pane");
Tooltip.install(pane, tooltip);
