manually trigger tooltips

[stringargs]

Any way to trigger the tooltips for JComponents whenever I want, and not just on mouseover event?

Action toolTipAction = component.getActionMap().get("postTip");

if (toolTipAction != null)
{
	ActionEvent postTip = new ActionEvent(component, ActionEvent.ACTION_PERFORMED, "");
	toolTipAction.actionPerformed( postTip );
}
