[Andrew D. Goodfellow]

Does anyone have a good example of manually tool-tipping the thumb on
a Slider (like what Manish is referring to)?

 if this is not possible, then I would at least like the datatip to appear
 if the user moves the thumb using the arrow keys or by clicking on the track
 as the way it is at present means it will never be visible to user who are
 not using the mouse.

 I don't think there's any official way of doing this. You can of
 course set showDataTip to false and then go ahead and make your own
 data tip (use ToolTipManager to display it), which you show and hide
 in response to events from the slider.

does anyone know of a simple way of doing this? From what I have read about 
Slider datatip there is some kind of problem with teh way it is added to the 
display that amkes it hard to customise.
