Path to an image in the local drive

Question

I'm using the following code to use an image in my local drive as a tooltip but it does'nt show the picture :

String path = "C:/images/A.png";
labelIMG.setToolTipText("<html><img src='"+path+"'></html>");

any work around for this, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The tooltip render is expecting a URL, not a file reference...

Try something like this instead.

String path = "C:/images/A.png";
File file = new File(path);
labelIMG.setToolTipText("<html><img src='"+file.toURI().toURL()+"'></html>");

You, could, of course, just use a simple String , but off the top of my head it might look something like file:///c:/images/A.png (I'm not a Windows box at the moment, so I can't check, sorry)
