GtkTooltip belongs to the new tooltips API that was
introduced in GTK+ 2.12 and which deprecates the old
GtkTooltips API. Basic tooltips can be realized simply by using gtkWidgetSetTooltipText
or gtkWidgetSetTooltipMarkup without any explicit tooltip object. When you need a tooltip with a little more fancy contents, like
adding an image, or you want the tooltip to have different contents
per GtkTreeView row or cell, you will have to do a little more work:
"has-tooltip" property to TRUE, this will
make GTK+ monitor the widget for motion and related events
which are needed to determine when and where to show a tooltip.
"query-tooltip" signal. This signal
will be emitted when a tooltip is supposed to be shown. One
of the arguments passed to the signal handler is a GtkTooltip
object. This is the object that we are about to display as a
tooltip, and can be manipulated in your callback using functions
like gtkTooltipSetIcon. There are functions for setting
the tooltip's markup, setting an image from a stock icon, or
even putting in a custom widget.
TRUE from your query-tooltip handler. This causes
the tooltip to be show. If you return FALSE, it will not be shown.
GtkWindow which will be used as tooltip window. This works as
follows:
"has-tooltip" and connect to "query-tooltip" as
before.
gtkWidgetSetTooltipWindow to set a GtkWindow created
by you as tooltip window.
gtkWidgetGetTooltipWindow and manipulate as you
wish. The semantics of the return value are exactly as before,
return TRUE to show the window, FALSE to not show it.
