Is it possible to have a line break in a chart object's tooltip?

I tried something like this, without success:
label.setTooltip("test\n"+"this is a sample tooltip");


Or a tooltip by definition cannot be split into multiple lines?

No it is not. The platform uses the standard java swing tooltip which is single-line only.

How about
label.setTooltip("<html>"
+ "Line One"
+ "<br>"
+ "Line 2"
+ "</html>");

or
label.setTooltip("<html><p width=\"500\">" +value+"</p></html>");

If this is a Swing tooltip, the above ones should be valid, right?

I cannot test it right away, that is why I ask for confirmation.

You should be able to do with the JForex-API tooltip all actions which are available with the standard swing tooltip. For testing the standard swing functionality, please consider using "sandbox" programs which don't use the JForex-API.

Just for someone else who might be interested in this.
label.setTooltip("<html><p width=\"500\">" +value+"</p></html>");

works perfectly.
