We recently added a facility to the IDV that supports a value readout on a mouse drag in a display.
The readout itself is shown in an undecorated JWindow that we place in the upper left of the display. That way we have total control of the placement and what is being shown. We use a JLabel that holds html in the JWindow but of course it could be any swing component.
See the attached screen shot. -Jeff
