<tt class="literal">Tooltips</tt> are the little text strings that pop up when you leave your
pointer over a widget for a few seconds and the <tt class="literal">Gtk::Tooltips</tt> object is a group of these tooltips. After creating a <tt class="literal">Gtk::Tooltips</tt> instance, you can use the <tt class="literal">set_tip()</tt> method to associate some descriptive text with a <tt class="literal">Widget</tt>.
</p><p>The <tt class="literal">enable()</tt> and <tt class="literal">disable()</tt> methods allow you to turn a whole group of tooltips on and off.</p><p><a href="../../reference/html/classGtk_1_1Tooltips.html" target="_top">Reference</a></p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch06s05.html">Prev</a></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch06.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><a accesskey="n" href="ch07.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">ProgressBar</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">Chapter7.Container Widgets</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
