Seen with Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200707250000) Java: 1.6.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_01-b06 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Userdir: C:\Documents and Settings\lautz\.netbeans\dev 1. Open a copy of the SynchronousSample sample application. 2. Open the compapp SynchronousSampleApplication in CASA (Edit Application Configuration). 3. Build the compapp project. 4. Open a properties dialog for the SOAP WSDL port. 5. Choose the Interface property. => There is no way to see the complete value using only keyboard commands. This value is usually shown in the tool tip, which seems to only work with the mouse. This problem also occurs in the properties dialog available by clicking the editable icon on a WSDL Port component. A few possible fixes: -- Ctrl-F1 is supposed to open tool tips, according to the Java Look and Feel Design Guidelines, V2. -- Define this property to provide a browser button to open a disabled QName editor dialog or text editor dialog. Ctrl-Spacebar would open the property editor.
Work around: Ctrl-F1 on provides/consumes pin shows up the complete value, which is same as the value at the properties dialog. This makes the value accessible through key board. This work around may bring down the priority of this ticket. Still investigating for the properties dialog.
None of the properties dialogs display tool-tip text with "Ctrl-F1" but do display the tool tip with mouse pointer over them. Its the best solution to fix it by the core properties team. Given the long qnames, as a work around, provided another dialog, which breaks up the selected qname to display local name and target name space.
Verified the fix with Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 Beta 1 (Build 200709041200) Java: 1.6.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_01-b06 System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb) Userdir: C:\Documents and Settings\lautz\.netbeans\6.0beta1. I can use Ctrl-Space to open a dialog that shows the entire text for the Interface property.
