gtkTooltips()gtkTooltipsNew. Every tooltip in the group can then be turned off with a call to gtkTooltipsDisable and enabled with gtkTooltipsEnable.
The length of time the user must keep the mouse over a widget before the tip is shown, can be altered with gtkTooltipsSetDelay. This is set on a 'per group of tooltips' basis.
To assign a tip to a particular gtkTooltipsSetTip is used.
PLEASE NOTE: Tooltips can only be set on widgets which have their own X window and
receive enter and leave events.
To check if a widget has its own window use gtkWidgetNoWindow().
To add a tooltip to a widget that doesn't have its own window, place the
widget inside a gtkTooltipsDataGet.
Adding tooltips to buttons.
## Let's add some tooltips to some buttons
button_bar_tips <- gtkTooltips()## Create the buttons and pack them into a GtkHBox hbox <- gtkHBox(TRUE, 2) load_button <- gtkButton("Load a file") hbox$packStart(load_button, TRUE, TRUE, 2) save_button <- gtkButton("Save a file") hbox$packStart(save_button, TRUE, TRUE, 2) ## Add the tips button_bar_tips$setTip(load_button, "Load a new document into this window", paste("Requests the filename of a document.", "This will then be loaded into the current", "window, replacing the contents of whatever", "is already loaded.")) button_bar_tips$setTip(save_button, "Saves the current document to a file", paste("If you have saved the document previously,", "then the new version will be saved over the", "old one. Otherwise, you will be prompted for", "a filename."))
gtkTooltips is the equivalent of gtkTooltipsNew.
