Please help me out on this, I have been breakin my head over this for weeks together.

I have a Class called InformationArea.java which displays an information area to the user. There a label called "enter a unique name" in the infomation area(basically an import dialog window). When I hover the mouse over that label there is a empty tooltip being displayed. I would want to remove that tooltip(I mean I dont want it to be shown). I can easily say tooltip.setVisibility(false) but I should not change the code inside the MouseTrackListener Anonymous class. I need to use a toltip property pr anythin else so that when I extend this class I need to have an option to easily set the visibility of this tooltip if needed or disable it if not needed.

Here is my Code snippet (JAVA SWT)

tooltip = new ToolTip(parent.getShell(), SWT.NONE);

MouseTrackListener mouseTrackListener = new MouseTrackListener() {
@Override
public void mouseEnter(MouseEvent e) {
if (text != null && !text.isEmpty()) {
tooltip.setLocation(Display.getCurrent().getCursorLocation().x,
Display.getCurrent().getCursorLocation().y + TOOLTIP_OFFSET_Y);
tooltip.setVisible(true);
}
}

@Override
public void mouseExit(MouseEvent e) {
if (text != null && !text.isEmpty()) {
tooltip.setVisible(false);
}
}

@Override
public void mouseHover(MouseEvent e) {
{
}};

label.addMouseTrackListener(mouseTrackListener);
iconLabel.addMouseTrackListener(mouseTrackListener);

I want an option such that the tooltip can be built or destroyed when ever needed in the derived class without changin the code in the MouseTrackListener
