tooltip hides behind windows taskbar

[karthikasok]

When i have my windows taskbar on the right side on my screen and when I move over a point to view the tooltip, the tool tip appears only partially. The other part of the text hides behind the taskbar.

Is there any way to view the tooltip fully?.

I searched for this and found this in Sun Developers Forum
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?t ... ID=9442861

but where do i find the method public
Point getToolTipLocation(MouseEvent event) {
}

Is there any easy way?

Thanks in advance

It is defined in Swing's JComponent class. You could override the method by subclassing ChartPanel and providing a new implementation...I'm not exactly sure how to go about choosing a location for the tooltip though.

Thanks David.
I have overridden the method and it works fine for me.
